DELAWARE- A Lewes engineer that works at Delaware's Department of Transportation was honored during National Engineers Week.
Scott Walls, a project manager of the Bridge Design section was named Delaware Engineering Society's 2019 Young Engineer of the Year award on Thursday.
According to DelDOT, Walls began his career with the company in 2012 as a project engineer in the same section as he is in now. Walls has been the lead designer for numerous replacement and rehabilitation projects working with both steel and concrete. DelDOT says Wall's current position is Supervising Engineer, in which he leads a small group of engineers and consultants from project initiation through project completion.
