The County Engineer is an independently elected county official, ensuring accountability to the public while overseeing critical infrastructure projects. By law, the officeholder must be both a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) and a licensed Professional Land Surveyor (P.S.), guaranteeing the technical expertise necessary to manage the county’s roads, bridges, and survey-related services.The Office of the County Engineer provides a variety of important services to the traveling public.
