Region Maintenance Organizational Structure

The Region Director or Region Deputy Director (based on the Region Organizational structure) leads and oversees all maintenance activities, employees, and operations that are carried out within the Region. They work directly with the District Engineers to set direction and provide guidance to maintenance personnel.

The District Engineers are responsible for overseeing the operations of the maintenance stations. The DE coordinates operations with the Maintenance Engineer and/ or the Area Supervisor depending upon how the Region is structured. The DE is also charged with managing the maintenance budget and the funds that are distributed to each maintenance station to ensure performance measures and maintenance standards are being met.

This position, based upon the individual region, coordinates with the DEs and the Area Supervisor(s) to ensure that work plans are developed for the upcoming year and that the necessary resources are in place to accomplish the work (including appropriate procurement contracts, scope of work, and estimates). They develop, review, and update maintenance agreements, review Permits and Construction project plans, and provide comments in regards to maintenance needs and concerns. They also work with UDOT construction crews to coordinate staffing needs on future construction projects.

They work with each maintenance station to develop individual budgets based on their needs and the condition of the assets within their boundaries. They are in constant communication with the Area Supervisor and Station Supervisor to project where the Region will end with fiscal year expenditures. This includes the tracking of Federal Revenue and Accident Dedicated Credits.

Each Area Supervisor is responsible for a geographical area as defined by the Region. The Area Supervisors directly oversee and manage the individual maintenance stations within their area. The Area Supervisors coordinate with the Station Supervisors in developing work plans based on the requested budget and prioritize work candidates based on condition or current performance. The Area Supervisor works directly with the Maintenance Analyst and Station Supervisors within their areas to track budgets and make any adjustments throughout the year. They also coordinate with construction crews and other Area Supervisors to balance workloads and resources.
