PHOENIX, Ariz. (March 31, 2026) – Coe & Van Loo Consultants, Inc. (CVL), a civil engineering firm and leading provider of comprehensive design services, is proud to announce the hiring of industry leader Shane Hanneman, PLA, CPESC, as Senior Project Manager.
Hanneman possesses more than 30 years of landscape architecture experience. In his new role at CVL, he will manage the public sector pursuits and project delivery for the landscape architecture department, mentor staff, and grow the CVL brand. Most of his projects integrate expertise from several departments.
Hanneman joins CVL after serving as a project manager for public‑sector projects statewide for the past five years with J2 Engineering and Environmental Design.
“Shane brings an exceptional blend of technical expertise, leadership, and deep public-sector experience,” said CVL President and CEO Ryan Weed, PE. “His ability to guide complex, multi‑disciplinary projects and mentor emerging talent makes him an invaluable addition to our team. We’re excited to see the impact he will have on our landscape architecture practice and the communities we serve.”
Hanneman’s background spans project management, public facilitation, master planning, development guidelines, feasibility studies, and full‑cycle design and construction administration. A proven leader in parks, civic, and infrastructure work, he has guided the vision and design of nearly 100 parks across the Southwest and beyond.
His portfolio also includes municipal buildings, downtown redevelopments, aquatic centers, recreation facilities, trail systems and trailheads, roadways, freeway corridors, and flood control facilities. He is highly experienced in coordinating with agencies such as ADOT, MCDOT, Valley Metro, and county flood control districts; integrating drainage, mobility, and public space into cohesive, resilient solutions.
Hanneman’s private‑sector work is equally robust, encompassing resorts, spas, golf clubhouses, school campuses, commercial and retail developments, and residential land development. Many of these projects required complex topographic integration and thoughtful responses to arid desert environments, resulting in designs that balance aesthetics, constructability, long‑term maintenance, and fiscal responsibility.
Projects which Hanneman has worked on include Anthem Community Park, Wild Horse Pass Resort, Troon Clubhouse, Aji Spa, Pecos Park, Grayhawk Park, Friendship Park, East Mesa Community Park, Sunbelt Park, Veteran’s Memorial at Veteran’s Oasis Park, SR 303 Construction Management, Reems Road Basin and Channel, Kingman Trails master plan, San Luis Downtown Redevelopment, West Somerton Master Plan, and River Island OHV Trailhead.
A native of Newton, Iowa, Hanneman earned a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Iowa State University in 1995. He also earned an MBA from the Arizona State University WP Carey School of Business in 2005.
Hanneman gives back to the industry as a mentor for ACE programs that teach high school students about the design and construction industry. He has taught the Landscape Architecture Registration Exam (LARE) review courses. Hanneman has also graded the grading and drainage section of the LARE exam for the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards.
Away from the office, Hanneman enjoys cooking, barbecuing, hiking (sometimes using the facilities he has designed), traveling to Mexico, and displaying his 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo at auto shows, a muscle car his father handed down to him. He has two daughters, ages 17 and 25.
Hanneman said Mexico holds a special place in his personal and professional lives.
“My love for Mexico, the culture, the design, the history, fascinates me,” Hanneman said. “Much of my inspiration lately has been rooted in its history and architectural influences.”
