The Board of Directors of leading engineering firm Modjeski and Masters elected Kevin W. Johns, P.E., as its next president. He will assume the role on January 1, 2027.
For more than 133 years, Modjeski and Masters has been defined by technical excellence, client service, innovation, and stewardship. Johns will build on that foundation while guiding the firm’s continued growth and preserving its culture and independence.
The board selected Johns based on his leadership, sound judgment, and vision for the firm’s future. His commitment to employees, clients, and long-term success will guide his work as president.
“I have worked closely with Kevin through the years as he has progressed in responsibility across increasingly complex leadership and project roles. He has consistently shown himself to be informed, collaborative, and willing to make tough decisions, including during major decision-making moments where his judgment helped guide project outcomes in a positive direction,” said outgoing president and CEO Michael F. Britt.
Since joining Modjeski and Masters in 1998, Johns has held numerous leadership positions, including director of the Movable Bridge Business Unit, senior vice president, board member, and chairman of the board. His experience includes growing teams, expanding capabilities, and leading through change while advancing the firm’s legacy of quality and technical excellence.
“Leading a 133-year-old firm is both an honor and a humbling responsibility. Modjeski and Masters is well positioned for the next 100 years, and I am committed to strengthening our legacy while ensuring a prosperous future for our employees and our clients,” said Johns.
As part of the transition, Johns will step down as director of the Movable Bridge Business Unit, and Lee Lentz will assume that role. The leadership handover will prioritize continuity of client service, clear communication, and support for ongoing project commitments.
The transition reflects Modjeski and Masters’ long-standing approach to leadership continuity and its commitment to the technical excellence and client relationships that have shaped the firm for generations.
