About Matteoni

Matteoni graduated from S&T with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in 1990 and began her career as one of two female engineers in Sverdrup’s bridge department in St. Louis. When Jacobs acquired Sverdrup in 1998, she continued her bridge engineering work there until joining Horner & Shifrin in 2005. She contributed to multiple structures on the New I‑64 design‑build project as a subconsultant engineer.

In 2008, she joined Parsons as a design engineer for construction phase services on I‑64 and has since worked on both design and construction management for major regional projects. Her leadership on the Deer Creek Tunnel and Pump Station helped the project earn the 2025 Engineering Excellence Honor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies at the Engineering Excellence Awards.
