LEED, her maiden name is Crenca and used earlier Rast[2] as her surname which was from a previous marriage, (born 1961), is one of a small number of women who run Fortune 500 companies. She is the chairman, president and CEO of CH2M Hill, a major US engineering company.[5]

Early life and education

Hinman received her bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from Pennsylvania State University College of Engineering in 1983. She is a registered professional engineer (P.E.) with accreditation under the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.[6]

Career

First jobs with CH2M

In 1988, Hinman joined CH2M Hill in the environmental business. She worked for ten years doing design management, project management, business development, and client group management. She began her own management consulting firm, Talisman Partners. From 2001 until 2003 Hinman was senior vice president of the Facilities and Transportation Business Group for Earth Tech. She owned the Azimuth Group from 2003 to 2005, serving as a senior management consultant for the construction and engineering industry.[7]

After returning to CH2M Hill Hinman was appointed to be the chairman of the board of CH2M Hill Companies, Ltd on May 6, 2008.[7] From 2007 until 2009 she headed the Center for Project Excellence at CH2M; from 2009 until 2010 Hinman was vice president, Major Programs Group and executive director for Mergers and Acquisitions. She was the president of the Facilities and Infrastructure Division from 2009 until 2011. Beginning in 2011 Hinman served as senior vice president and the president of the International Division of CH2M Hill.[8]

CEO of CH2M

Hinman took over as president and CEO in January, 2014. In July 2014 the company announced the appointment of Hinman to be the chairman of the board replacing McIntire who had retired from that position on September 18, 2014.[5]

According to The Denver Post-Business in October 2013, her position is noteworthy as engineering has traditionally been a field in which men have dominated.[9] According to Mark Leftly of the UK’s The Independent in September 2013, since her rise to the head of CH2M Hill she is “one of the most powerful women in the industry.”[10]

2022 World Cup

CH2M Hill is the program management consultant for developing the 2022 World Cup stadiums and practice fields, attaining the contract in early 2012.[11] As a result of this relationship, by late 2014 Hinman was under pressure from several NGO campaigns to better protect the migrant workers on this project in Qatar, who are barred from leaving the country or changing employers.[12]
