Robert “BJ” Haegele

BJ Haegele serves as President of American Pile and Foundation and has been with APF since 2013. BJ is responsible for providing executive management and overseeing the planning, designing, and execution of daily operations. Before becoming President, BJ began his work at APF as a Drilling Operations manager. His vast knowledge of drilled shafts, auger cast piles, mini-piles, secant piles, and other various types of load testing stems from his 25 years of knowledge in Geotechnical Engineering and Geology. With this vast amount of understanding, BJ can coordinate with specialists to assess site viability and coordinate with geologists and other professionals while taking great care to preserve the natural environment in which APF is working. BJ is an engaging hands-on leader and when not in the office, can be seen sitting on a rig himself and drilling alongside other APF employees. BJ echoes the values and visions of Nelson Ferreira, working closely with Nelson to ensure that APF is consistently meeting the needs of its clients efficiently and safely.
