John (JC) Krause

The Dutra Group is pleased to announce the promotion of John (JC) Krause to Senior Vice President of the Dredging Division.

Mr. Krause joined Dutra in 1996 as a Project Engineer for Dredging and has led the company’s Dredging Division since 2001.

Mr. Krause holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Delaware and brings more than 30 years of hydro-engineering and dredging experience to his leadership role. Throughout his tenure, he has been instrumental in advancing the company’s operational performance and strategic growth—guiding the successful completion of dredging projects nationwide.

In his new role as Senior Vice President, Mr. Krause will report directly to Dutra COO Bryan O’Sullivan, and continue to lead the Dredging Division day-to-day operations, ensuring strong operational execution and alignment with The Dutra Group’s long-term growth strategy and commitment to building year-round financial confidence.

“I am honored to take on the role of Senior Vice President for the Dredging Division,” said Mr. Krause. “This is an exciting time for The Dutra Group as we invest in critical new assets and embrace advanced technologies that will position Dutra as a leader in America’s maritime industry by supporting commerce, protecting communities and maintaining our nations critical waterway infrastructure. I remain deeply committed to operational excellence and to my talented team whose expertise and dedication make our success possible.”

His pivotal role in the company’s acquisition of Dutra’s first two hopper dredges, the Columbia and the Stuyvesant, launched Dutra’s involvement into the Jones Act hopper dredge market. Mr. Krause’s successful leadership in managing these assets supports the maintenance of the nation’s vital shipping channels and ports. He has also been instrumental in the planning, design, and ongoing construction of Dutra’s eagerly anticipated new build hopper dredge, the Adele.

The Dutra Group is an industry-leading, family-owned heavy civil marine construction company with more than a century of experience in Dredging, Marine Construction, Ecological Restoration, and Barged Materials services. Based in San Rafael, California, Dutra operates nationally across the United States and throughout the Pacific Rim.
