Craig Taylor Promoted to Principal
July 8, 2026
We are thrilled to announce the promotion of Craig Taylor, PE, to Principal! In this role, he will join our team of leaders who develop new opportunities, build our capacity to deliver excellence to our clients and partners, cultivate trusting relationships, advance innovation, and move transformative projects forward.
Craig has more than 15 years of experience in restoration design, physical hydraulics, sediment transport, and stormwater management. He holds BS and MS degrees in Civil Engineering, a certificate in stream restoration, and professional engineering (PE) licenses in five states. As a leader on LimnoTech’s restoration team, Craig sets the bar for creativity in solving challenging problems. His work is guided by a commitment to restoring natural processes that benefit local ecosystems and the people who live, work, and recreate in and around them. He looks for ways to make something work rather than reasons it can’t.
Craig has served as a technical leader on over two dozen urban river and waterfront restoration projects, from the multi-phase Waller Creek Corridor Restoration in Austin, Texas, to the Lower Don Lands Waterfront Redevelopment in Toronto, and the Trinity River Corridor Project in Dallas. His work blends deep expertise in physical hydraulics and sediment transport modeling, with an ecological fluency in flow regimes and habitat creation, and an unbounded creativity to solve unusual and complex challenges. For example, Craig has designed an ephemeral stream to create critical transit habitat for mountain lions for the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing near Los Angeles, California, and a fish-passage rock ramp for the endangered Topeka Shiner in Missouri.
He also brings his expertise to fresh coasts and wetlands, lakes, and ponds through Great Lakes coastal resiliency work. With his team, Craig has engaged more than 50 communities, focusing on equity and environmental justice, and helping to guide projects from design concept through construction. Craig’s from-scratch designs of new lakes and ponds have developed into restoration concepts in Texas, Tennessee, and India. In his work, Craig seeks to harness natural processes to repair ecological systems, rebuild functional habitats, and strengthen connections between the communities we serve and their local water environments.
Craig is equally committed to growing the next generation of engineers, scientists, and designers, both within and outside LimnoTech. With his genuine care and desire to support the people he works with, Craig mentors civil engineering students at the University of Minnesota and in the Landscape Architecture graduate program at the University of Virginia, and frequently presents at venues including the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Congratulations, Craig! Thank you for your deep technical expertise, creativity, and the unfiltered boldness you bring to our clients, partners, projects, and work environment. We’re excited about your expanded role and are grateful for your continued leadership.
