The longtime Texas transportation engineer brings TxDOT and private industry experience to this timely role.
HOUSTON, Texas, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CivilTech, a Woolpert Company, has welcomed Julio Salinas as a construction project manager. Salinas is a civil engineer with nearly 20 years of experience in construction engineering and inspection who has managed multimillion-dollar transportation projects throughout Texas, with a focus on Houston. He will manage projects that support the Texas Department of Transportation and the state's critical transportation infrastructure needs.
Salinas is a University of Houston graduate who started his career at TxDOT in 2004. While there, he worked for more than a decade as a transportation engineer, managing high-volume projects like the U.S. 290/Interstate Highway 610 interchange reconstruction and was honored as a Young Engineer of the Year by the Houston Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

"That's why it's important to work for companies like CivilTech and Woolpert, where skill sets have been strategically assembled to support our strategic vision and wide range of client needs. Woolpert has been a successful engineering company for more than 100 years because it continually strengthens its foundation while integrating the latest design and geospatial technologies. Woolpert joined forces with CivilTech to add depth and dimension to its support of Texas and TxDOT. That clear and capable approach makes my job much easier."

We are excited to have him with us and to excited to see the vast benefits he will deliver to TxDOT and the Houston area."
