Traffic safety, environmental protection through education and public programs, and project management for major infrastructure are also part of Engineering’s responsibilities.

Township staff employed in the division note there are diverse opportunities and benefits that can be found in municipal engineering, and jobs that suit individual skill levels, interests, lifestyles, and goals.

“Being close to home allows me to spend more time with my family. I have more time in my day that isn't taken over by a commute,” said local resident and Township Construction Manager Jennifer Elderkin with Engineering and Construction Services. “On top of that, I get to use my talents to benefit my community.”
