NORTH COAST, Calif. – Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty announced Thursday that Matt Brady has been appointed to the position of District 1 director, effective immediately.
The District 1 region includes Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake and Mendocino counties.
Interim District 1 Director Tim Craggs will return to Sacramento after serving for five months to bridge the gap between former District Director Charlie Fielder’s retirement last fall and Brady’s appointment.
Brady is a 25-year employee with Caltrans, a certified Project Management Professional and a California licensed Professional Engineer.
After graduating from Santa Clara University in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, Brady began his career with Caltrans in Orange County, Caltrans District 12.
After three years in District 12, Brady spent six years with Structure Design in Sacramento.
Brady was promoted to senior transportation engineer in 2000, serving as a California Transportation Commission liaison with Transportation Programming, also in Sacramento.
In late 2001, Brady moved to District 1 to become a project manager and in 2004 he was promoted to District 1’s deputy district director of program and project management.
Brady has delivered many high profile projects such as the Willits Bypass, Ten Mile River Bridge, Confusion Hill Realignment, and Alton Interchange and Mad River Bridges.
He also has taken on special assignments including a 15-month rotation as the deputy district director of maintenance and operations in District 1, and as the division chief for the headquarters division of engineering services.
