HOLYOKE — Pare Corp., a multi-disciplinary engineering firm, announced the promotion of David Loring to senior vice president in its Western Massachusetts Division.

Loring has more than 34 years of management and engineering design experience in Western Mass. and throughout New England. Under his leadership, Pare opened its Holyoke office several years ago. He and his staff are working on a wide variety of transportation, municipal, educational, and infrastructure projects throughout Western Mass. He is currently managing a $15 million contract for the design, bidding, and construction-administration services of 15 intersections for the city of Springfield.

Within the engineering community, Loring serves as treasurer for the Massachusetts Tri-County Highway Superintendents’ Assoc. He also sits on Western New England University’s College of Engineering industry advisory council and co-chairs the qualifications-based selection committee of the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies.

“David has proven himself through managing our Holyoke office for the past four years and has contributed greatly to the company by delivering exceptional service to our clients,” Pare CEO John Shevlin said. “He works hard to create connections and find work for the company, increasing the number of projects coming out of that office every year. Pare could not have expanded as we have in Western Massachusetts without David’s expertise and leadership. There is no doubt that David will continue to find opportunities for the continued growth of the Holyoke office, and he will continue to enhance our capabilities and deliver outstanding results for our clients. We are proud to promote David to senior vice president and look forward to his continuing contributions to Pare’s success.”
