Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZachary Whitley is an experienced traffic and civil engineer with 11 years in transportation delivery at MnDOT, currently serving as Assistant District Traffic Engineer. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering with a math minor from the University of Minnesota Duluth and progressed through MnDOT’s trainee rotations in surveys, maintenance, traffic, construction, design, and materials before moving into his current leadership role. Zachary blends hands-on field experience—inspecting bridges, supervising concrete operations, and performing pile-driving oversight—with technical design and geometric support work. An active ITE member and former Tau Beta Pi and ASCE volunteer, he brings both professional rigor and community-minded collaboration to public infrastructure projects. Based in Sartell with his wife and four children, he pairs practical construction know-how from early electrician and quality-control roles with policy-scale traffic engineering responsibilities. Notably, his career path reflects a rare depth of cross-discipline exposure within a single state agency, enabling faster, more informed decisions across project phases.
