Sarah MacLean
Associate PrincipalWB Engineers + Consultants
Sarah MacLean is a team leader in our Washington DC office who is driven by new ideas, methods, and solutions to design challenges. With an electrical engineering degree from Northeastern University and over 15 years of engineering and construction experience, she has excelled in delivering complex multi-disciplinary project solutions across various sectors.
Her experience in electrical engineering and project management has been essential to leading our team, particularly, in our Electrical Vehicle (EV) sector. She currently co-leads a team of 20+ team members who make up WB’s Electrical Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure group. This team is involved with bringing EV projects from conceptual feasibility through project design and permitting. In 2022, the team managed the installation of vehicle charging infrastructure for over 900 charging stalls across 30 states, 200+ jurisdictions, and 100+
different utility providers. One aspect of her work that she enjoys most is the development of strategies and processes that are tailored to
align with the client’s project objectives with the main goal of improving efficiency in overall project delivery. This work has led Sarah to maintain successful partnerships with our EV Clients to implement large-scale infrastructure rollouts.

Code and Conduct: The Key to Streamlining Engineering
It's essential to have efficient and streamlined engineering processes in place for installing charging stations. In this session, we'll cover how to accurately assess your infrastructure deployment timeline, implement methods for systematic and efficient engineering, and navigate through codes and regulations during a lack of standardization. Join us to learn best practices for streamlining engineering processes and deploying EV charging stations successfully.
Key takeaways from this session will include:
- Understanding the importance of an infrastructure deployment timeline and how to accurately assess it to avoid delays and ensure timely installation of EV charging stations.
- Implementing methods for systematic and efficient engineering to optimize the installation process and reduce errors.
- Navigating through codes and regulations during a lack of standardization to ensure compliance and minimize obstacles in the installation process.
