Martin Wagner - Street Division - Promotion to Master Mechanic

Martin has been an integral part of the Street Division since joining the team in November 2017. Over the years, he has made significant contributions to a wide range of essential operations, including asphalt maintenance, winter storm response, and both preventative and predictive maintenance of our fleet.
As the division's sole mechanic, Martin has been the cornerstone of our maintenance operations, often working around the clock to ensure our equipment and vehicles are safe, reliable, and ready to serve the community. His skill, dedication, and tireless work ethic have earned him the respect of his colleagues and leadership alike.
In his new role as Master Mechanic, Martin will take on expanded responsibilities, including oversight of the entire Public Works fleet.
