G.R. Fielding
Airfield Project Manager, ASE
Implementation Services
G.R. grew up in upstate New York and earned a degree in Environmental Resources and Forest Engineering from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Drawn by a passion for both engineering and the outdoors, he moved to Colorado to combine his career with his love of skiing in the Rocky Mountains.
His early work with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) included design roles on the I-25 corridor and other key state highway projects before he transitioned into construction administration. In Aspen, he served as Pitkin County Engineer, where he managed Road and Bridge assets and collaborated with Open Space and Trails, Community Development, and the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport on a range of projects. Later, as Construction and Asset Director in the County Manager’s Office, he led initiatives focused on facilities, energy and sustainability, and employee housing.
G.R. joined Jacobsen|Daniels as Airfield Project Manager for the Aspen/Pitkin County Modernization Program — an opportunity that brings his professional expertise and personal connection to the community together.
When he’s not at work, G.R. enjoys hiking, biking, and skiing in Aspen with his family.
