Engineering & Project Management

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ENGINEERING SERVICES DIVISION

The Engineering Services Division provides planning, design and project management services to the City and is tasked with the implementation of infrastructure programs. To achieve this the division must coordinate with city departments, including Planning, CDOT, CATS, Economic Development, and Housing and Neighborhood Services, and with external stakeholders, including private consultants, the public, and NCDOT. The division implements projects identified in the City's Capital Investment Plan (CIP) with the goal of providing safe transportation choices, improving neighborhoods, supporting economic development, and improving the lives of residents through infrastructure programs that build our community. ​
