Rumbidzai Mureru Named to ASCE’s 2025 New Faces of Civil Engineering
Every year, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) identifies 10 up-and-coming professionals within the international civil engineering field. These ASCE members have a history of leading innovation and service within their workplaces, communities, and broader industries. In 2025, Rumbidzai Mureru, EIT, was selected as one of the New Faces of Civil Engineering.
Starting at Kimley-Horn in 2024, Rumbidzai is a civil engineering analyst and a vibrant member of the Atlanta development services team. She has a diverse history of providing stormwater management, sanitary sewer and drinking water pipeline design, hydrologic modeling, grading, site planning, land development, and erosion control services to a breadth of clients. With a focus on creating safer and more sustainable places, Rumbidzai enjoys solving problems where she can experience the solution in the built environment.
“I get to use my artistic and creative abilities to turn undeveloped land into lovely and meaningful residential, commercial, and industrial sites that best serve people within the area.”
Rumbidzai hones her leadership skills through meaningful mentorships and industry organization engagement. While pursuing her BS in Civil Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, she mentored more than 125 students as part of her roles as a teaching assistant and a mentor on the dean’s leadership council. Rumbidzai is also actively involved with ASCE—currently serving as the STEM Director for ASCE Georgia’s Younger Member Group—and is a member of the Society of Women Engineers, WTS, and the National Society of Black Engineers.
Rumbidzai is a passionate advocate for STEM enrichment, especially for K-12 students and underrepresented communities. She has volunteered for a variety of events that further students’ hands-on exploration of engineering topics, including the Future City® Competition and Georgia STEM Day. Rumbidzai is eager to advance STEM education—both within the US education system and in her home country of Zimbabwe—as she continues her career at Kimley-Horn.
