Wyoming DOT announced the retirement of its chief engineer, Mark Gillett. Mr. Gillett started his career at WYDOT in 1980, immediately after graduation from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. He held increasingly responsible engineering posts before being appointed chief engineer in 2020.
Gillett was responsible for overseeing transportation planning, highway design, and operations statewide, including highway construction, winter maintenance, highway safety, highway and bridge design, and equipment and building maintenance.
WYDOT executives will work with the state transportation commission on selection of a new engineering chief.
