ORLANDO, Fla. – Mohamad Odeh, PE, joins DRMP as stormwater department manager, bringing a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions that will strengthen the resilience of Florida communities. In this role, Odeh will lead and grow a high-performing team of engineers delivering water resources projects, including watershed studies, stormwater retrofits, and water quality improvements. He will also help expand DRMP’s stormwater services, build new client relationships, and identify innovative solutions that add value to the communities the firm serves.
“I aim to enhance operational efficiency, optimize design standards, and foster a culture of ownership and accountability,” he said. “My goal is to scale the department while maintaining the highest level of technical quality.”
Odeh brings over 12 years of experience in civil engineering, specializing in stormwater systems, drainage design, land development, and infrastructure resilience projects internationally and throughout Florida. He has worked on multidisciplinary teams on complex public and private developments, combining strong technical expertise with a business-focused, entrepreneurial mindset.
“I am excited to join DRMP because of its strong reputation, collaborative culture, and commitment to delivering impactful infrastructure solutions,” Odeh said. “I am particularly motivated by the opportunity to bring an entrepreneurial spirit to the role, helping the stormwater practice while delivering resilient solutions that benefit Florida communities.”
Prior to joining DRMP, Odeh gained experience in private consulting in Orlando and in the public sector, including with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). This background provided him with a well-rounded understanding of project delivery and regulatory coordination. During his Ph.D. studies at the University of Central Florida (UCF), he worked on a project funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) that investigated the development of innovative stormwater media for nutrient removal from runoff in South Florida canals. Internationally, Odeh also worked in Christchurch, New Zealand, collaborating closely with the Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury (ECan) on stormwater modeling and flood mitigation initiatives within the Heathcote River watershed.
“Christchurch’s low-lying terrain, high groundwater table, and tidal influences create urban flooding challenges similar to those in many parts of Florida, making that experience especially relevant to the work we do here at DRMP,” Odeh said. “I am committed to delivering practical, innovative, and sustainable solutions that enhance community resilience and support long-term growth.”
DRMP Vice President Scott Garth, PE, LEED AP, ND, said Odeh’s diverse background adds valuable perspective to DRMP’s approach to stormwater management.
“Mohamad’s international experience and technical leadership bring fresh perspectives to our stormwater practice,” Garth said. “He will enhance our ability to deliver effective drainage and flood mitigation solutions that improve infrastructure performance and community safety.”
