The Mobile County Commission announced Kimberly Sanderson is now officially the County Engineer. She has been in the position on an interim basis since April, when the former engineer retired.
“After decades of exemplary service, it’s our pleasure to promote Kim Sanderson to the top engineering position in Mobile County," said District 2 Commissioner Connie Hudson. "Her knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience make her uniquely suited for this appointment. We believe the County will benefit by having her in this pivotal role.”
Sanderson has worked with the county since 2001. She previously worked for the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) and Polysurveying.
“County Engineering shapes local infrastructure," said District 1 Commissioner Merceria Ludgood. "Kim Sanderson’s dedication and superior service have more than prepared her for this promotion. We look forward to her continued service in this new role.”
“Kim Sanderson’s promotion to County Engineer is a testament to her skills and experience, as well as her deep understanding of our engineering function," said District 3 Commissioner and Commission President Randall Dueitt. "Her approach to challenges, innovative solutions, and earned respect make her the perfect leader for Mobile County Engineering.”
Sanderson will oversee 30 employees and manage the planning and construction of Mobile County roads and bridges.
Sanderson is a professional engineer and a certified bridge inspector. She graduated from Auburn University with a BS in Civil Engineering.
The Commission pointed out in a press release that Sanderson is the first female county engineer in the county's history.
