PROBLEM

District Engineers track new projects and assign Resident Engineers (RE) at the appropriate time. They were using clunky reports, and going through them manually to find projects that had not been assigned.

CHANGE

The Unassigned Resident Engineer Dashboard shows unassigned projects, and amongst other criteria can be filtered by region, project delivery method, and project manager.

RESULT

The dashboard assists District Engineers to more easily manage RE’s workload. They are able to assign projects to the appropriate RE earlier in the process, which fosters better planning, saves time, and provides other efficiencies.

REs are able to monitor the dashboard to identify upcoming projects of interest.
