Shannon Williams Named Principal Engineer at Keller Associates

“Find what makes your heart sing, and everything else will fall into place.” That’s the advice Shannon Williams gives her colleagues. And it’s exactly how she approaches her work.

Today, Keller Associates is proud to announce her well-earned promotion to Principal Engineer. This accomplishment recognizes her dedication to clients, colleagues, and the future of the firm.

Since joining Keller in November 2019, Shannon has played a key role in growing our Salem, Oregon, office. She’s built strong client relationships, secured key contracts, and boosted Keller’s presence in the region.

In this new expanded role, she’ll continue to lead client and project management efforts while contributing to marketing strategy and business development.

“I’m excited to find new ways to support my coworkers, my clients, and the company as a whole,” she said. “I hope to help Keller grow—both externally and internally—by providing strategic thinking and vision.”

When Shannon’s not busy leading teams and connecting with clients and communities, she’s spending time with her husband and two teenage sons. Shannon enjoys camping, volunteering with American Public Works Association (APWA) as Oregon President Elect, lifting weights, and making food, pottery, and clothes from scratch. No matter what, you can always count on her to bring heart, fun, and personal commitment to everything she does.

For many people, balancing professional and personal life can be tricky. When asked about her approach, she said, “Invest in both your clients and yourself. Say ‘yes’ to what matters, but do it on your schedule. And learn to say no when it’s needed.”

Please join us in congratulating Shannon’s promotion to Principal Engineer! We’re excited to see how she’ll continue to shape our company, our culture, and our impact. No doubt, it’ll make her heart sing—and ours too.
