Civilian Engineer of the Year – Wayne Hanaoka
Hanaoka serves as Design Manager and Engineer-In-Responsible Charge for three of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command’s largest military construction efforts, overseeing architect-engineer teams that delivered design and construction contracts totaling approximately $1.5 billion over the past year. Following Super Typhoon Mawar, Hanaoka led a major power resiliency initiative in Guam focused on strengthening electrical infrastructure to improve continuity during extreme weather events. His expertise in regional utility systems and coordination with local agencies played a key role in advancing long-term grid resilience. Hanaoka also guided the development of modernized communications infrastructure designed to support secure, resilient command-and-control capabilities in support of joint forces. His work addressed evolving mission requirements while overcoming significant logistical and environmental challenges.
