Amanda Jett LeBlanc

Born and raised in Delaware, Amanda Jett LeBlanc, PE received her bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from the University of Delaware with a minor in civil engineering. She began the first couple years of her career in the solid waste industry working on environmental compliance projects for a landfill in Ohio. She moved to the Boston area and joined Weston & Sampson in 2013, becoming a licensed professional civil engineer in 2017.

Amanda started out assisting with public works facility designs, fuel stations, and solid waste projects before transitioning to the firm’s wastewater group in 2015, where she really found her sweet spot. Since then, she’s enjoyed assisting many municipal clients with sewer system evaluation survey projects from the investigation phase through rehabilitation design to construction oversight. Many of her projects focus on trenchless rehabilitation of gravity sewers. Amanda has performed investigations (sewer manhole inspections, smoke testing, building inspections), moved on to construction oversight, and now manages these projects from start to finish. She really enjoys getting out in the field to offset her time in the office.

Amanda’s favorite project was the oversight of the cured-in-place installation of about 3,000 linear feet of 24-inch sewers that ran under wetlands. It was a unique and challenging project that involved finding a creative way to get equipment access to repair the large hole in one of the sewer segments while still protecting the surrounding wetlands.
