Charles (Chuck) Goodling, PE, has been promoted to President of DuBois & King. With the unanimous support of D&K’s Board of Directors and leadership around the company, Chuck began his duties as D&K’s President on November 21, 2020.

Chuck’s leadership and firm responsibilities have steadily grown, and in 2004, he was appointed Director of the Public Works Division. Over his years of service, Chuck has provided invaluable mentorship and guidance to many throughout D&K and has worked hard to provide professional growth opportunities to others. As his mentees grew into leadership positions, Chuck moved seamlessly into the firm’s only Senior Vice President position, overseeing several operating divisions in multiple offices and states.

Chuck and his wife, Kim, are longtime residents of central Vermont. They homeschooled their three children on their 150-year-old hillside farm, called Grand View Farm, in Washington, VT. Chuck and Kim provided their family with the opportunity to participate in Vermont’s rich agricultural life and, with kids now grown, they continue to operate a sustainable sheep farm and farm-stay B&B. They have been instrumental in establishing Vermont’s first flock of Gotland sheep, which originate from Sweden, and have led two tour groups to Gotland Island. They also raise pigs in the summer and produce maple syrup.

Chuck is a well-respected company leader and is highly regarded by his staff and peers, and we are very fortunate to have him leading the D&K team!

D&K is excited to announce that Elijah Daniels has been promoted to Project Manager in D&K’s Electrical Engineering Department. Elijah joined D&K in September 2011 and is based in our Springfield office.

Following his 1997 graduation from Springfield Technical Center where he studied Drafting and Design and Manufacturing Technology, Elijah served as a Machinist Apprentice in the Lovejoy Tool Company. After three years, he left to work for a cable TV company as a Cable TV and Fiber Optic Communications Designer. Next, he transitioned into a job as a Cabinet Designer, making kiosks for mall shops and for a Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop. In 2009, he went to work as a Mechanical Designer at another consulting firm, where he met and occasionally worked with Wilbur Horton. Their meeting was fortuitous, and Elijah joined D&K several years later as a Mechanical and Electrical Designer.

At D&K, Elijah quickly found that his true interest lies in electrical design, where his talent and responsibilities have grown substantially. He was thrown into the deep end, working with Wilbur on the $3M White River VA Medical Center Electrical Deficiencies Upgrades project (an ACEC award winner). Some of his other notable projects have included the Leeds VA Electrical Deficiencies Upgrades, Craig Brook Fish Hatchery in Maine, and the Outer Limits Brewing Company.

Over the last several years, Elijah has played a key role in D&K’s electrical arc flash study projects. While the work is technically challenging, he rapidly became proficient with the specialized analysis process and modeling software.
