Ryan L. Hanson, P.E.
Aviation Project Manager HDR
Ryan Hanson, P.E., has established himself as a standout
Aviation Project Manager and Engineer at HDR in
Omaha, Nebraska, where his drive, commitment, and
perseverance have transformed ambitious projects into
reality. Hanson's expertise was recently demonstrated
at North Platte Regional Airport, where he played a key
role in securing a $7.04 million FAA grant for a $29.63
million terminal project. His strategic guidance helped
the airport align its plans with FAA priorities, making it
one of just six airports with fewer than 20,000 annual
enplanements to secure a large ATP grant.
Hanson's success extends to Norfolk, Nebraska's
Regional Airport, where he led efforts to gain City
Council approval for an $8.4 million terminal and hangar
project. His development of a strategic plan and grant
application led to a $3.23 million federal award, proving
his ability to navigate political and financial hurdles.
" I'm motivated to find solutions to complex problems, "
he said. " Whether it's financing a $30 million
terminal project at a budget-constrained regional
airport, maintaining 24/7 access to the presidential

hangar during construction, or
keeping mission-critical runways
operational during significant rain
events, I always find satisfaction in
overcoming obstacles and meeting
project objectives. "
A 2012 graduate of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Civil Engineering,
Hanson has since earned a master's degree from the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, specializing
in airfield pavement. His passion for innovation has
led him to create new tools for pavement condition
surveys and collaborate on the use of unmanned aircraft
systems for data collection.
Hanson's dedication to the industry is reflected in his
service on technical panels for the Airport Cooperative
Research Program and his role as a mentor and leader
within HDR, where he continually pushes the boundaries
of airport project management and engineering.
