Ryan Tesdal, a Transportation Maintenance Specialist 3, and Kevin Morris, supervisor of the bridge crew with Clackamas County’s Department of Transportation and Development (DTD), aren’t just repairing bridges this summer—they’re also helping inspire the next generation of county DTD workers.

The two recently visited River Mill Elementary School in Estacada for a career day, where they answered questions like “What do you like about your job?” and explained how safety remains their top priority on the job.

Tesdal and Morris have also taken part in several high school career fairs and Women in Trades events across Oregon City, Estacada, and other communities.

“It’s really fun interacting with the kids and other community members,” Tesdal said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to learn what we do for the county.”
