The design and engineering firm Otak hired Jim Dexteras a senior water resources engineer in the firm's water and natural resources group. Dexter was a hydraulic engineering specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Dexter has led water-resource initiatives throughout the United States, including preparing the hydraulic report for a bridge crossing wetlands in Washington state. He has also worked on key projects in the South Pacific and Southeast Asia, including a channel-improvement design and analysis in Guam, and a flood-plain management in Bangkok.
Otak works on transit and transportation, residential and public works. Otak employs nearly 300 in Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Colorado and Abu Dhabi, UAE. The firm recently opened offices in Baghdad and Erbil, Iraq, to hire and train Iraqis for the reconstruction effort.
