Melinda Kohlhaas\, P.E. is a professional civil engineer with over 33 years of engineering experience. \; A week after graduating from the University of Washington\, she came up to Anchorage for a summer visit and decided Alaska was a great place to live and work. \; \;
\n
\nShe started her career working in the private sector designing sanitation improvements throughout Rural Alaska for 13 years. \; In 2005\, she began work with the Municipality of Anchorage initially working for Anchorage Water &\; Wastewater Utility and later joined the Project Management &\; Engineering (PM&\;E) Department in 2008.
\n
\nAs the Director of the PM&\;E Department\, she finds great satisfaction in serving Anchorage residents by delivering road and drainage projects to meet the needs of our community. Road corridor design focuses on safety and multi-modal facilities for all users. \; Other key responsibilities of the department include services to support capital project implementation and storm water management to protect the quality of all Anchorage&rsquo\;s streams and waterways from stormwater discharge impacts. \; \;
\n
\nAnd for fun she enjoys walks with her husband on the Chester Creek trail system\, tennis\, pickleball\, travelling\, and binge-watching shows!
