Franklin County Engineer

As a local public works agency headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the Franklin County Engineer's Office is responsible for the maintenance and construction of 271 miles of county roadway and 351 county bridges, as well as upkeep of all county ditches, drains, retention basins, and other storm water facilities within the right-of-way of county roads in unincorporated areas. To meet the continuing development and infrastructure needs of Franklin County, the Engineer's Office utilizes the latest technologies for determining and maintaining roadway centerlines and boundaries; retracing and setting new monuments for original public land surveys; preparing geographic information system mapping for real estate tax assessments; and establishing precise countywide horizontal and vertical control to maintain uniformity in construction, surveying, and mapping.

Engineer Adam Fowler kicked off Bring Your Child to Work Day with a warm welcome to the children of #TeamFCEO! In line with this year’s theme, “For a New Generation,” participants got an inside look at the many roles that support Franklin County’s infrastructure. Kids explored responsibilities across our Survey Department, Mobility Department, and enjoyed a drone demonstration from our Asset Management team. After an Employee Appreciation Luncheon, the excitement continued with hands-on demonstrations featuring our Vactor truck, sign installation, excavator, and a concrete pour. A big thank you to all who helped make the day educational, exciting, and inspiring!
