Carolyn Wehner is a geotechnical engineer who specializes in dam safety for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District.
When Wehner was 19, she joined the district as a student trainee and became full-time in 2017.
Wehner said she loves working with the people and the projects within the Pittsburgh District.
“I really enjoy collaborating with and learning from my co-workers and mentors. Our projects have major benefits for our community, from flood-risk management to recreation. Working on projects that have a huge impact on my community gives me a personal connection and satisfaction,” she said.
Wehner is currently working on risk assessments for the district’s flood-risk management and navigation projects. She is proud of the work she does to create a safer future for our projects and the communities they serve.
Carolyn attended the University of Pittsburgh to earn a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. She later earned her Master of Science in Risk Management from Notre Dame of Maryland University.
Outside the world of engineering and risk management, Wehner enjoys white water rafting, scuba diving, hiking and cooking. She especially enjoys rafting at Ohiopyle State Park, which receives its waters from the district’s own Youghiogheny Dam.
