Tim Buscha, P.E., CFM

Tim Buscha celebrates an over 20-year career here at IDS, and we are pleased he accepted our invitation and the challenge and growth that came with it. Tim joined IDS in 2003 to lead the Water Resources group with a background in Agricultural Engineering and over a decade of experience in the management of water resources with the U.S Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service. The path to his current position of President came through a push for innovation— from the approach to projects, striving to offer superior quality to our clients and representing the firm in our community engagement.

As President, Tim’s day-to-day role revolves around providing support to fellow Project Managers, managing client relations and business development activities, and dispensing his wealth of technical wisdom. What he values most about being a leader is the ability to collaborate to create change within the firm. He, along with his fellow partners, believe IDS offers a work environment where anyone can find success. One of his goals is to support the longevity of the next generation in the firm; he hopes to see employees hit multi-decade milestones.

Outside of IDS, Tim is engaged with several technical organizations in the Houston area, including the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Houston Chapter, Texas Floodplain Managers Association (TFMA), as Chairman of the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Region 6 San Jacinto Regional Flood Planning Group and more. When not in an industry meeting, Tim can be found somewhere in the great outdoors. His two favorite pastimes are fishing and ranching, the latter accomplished on his family-owned ranch.
