JASON HARRIS began working with the City of Akron as a co-op student in June, 1991. After graduation from the University of Akron with a Bachelors of Construction Technology degree in June, 1996, he was hired in full-time as an Engineering Technician I in October, 1996. JASON was promoted to his current position of Engineering Technician III on November 19, 2001.

As an Engineering Technician III, JASON is responsible for a wide variety of activities that must be completed on a project in order to take it from the "planning stage" to the "construction complete" stage. Recent accomplishments include the Portage Path Bridge project, the Bettes Corners Bridges project and the Honodle Avenue CDA project. JASON is now scheduled to oversee another high-profile roadway improvements project that will start very soon along Howard Street.

Jason HarrisHE and his wife, Jen, live in Ellet and are the proud parents of a daughter, Kylie. JASON enjoys coaching Kylie’s soccer team along with spending time with the family doing a variety of "outdoor" activities including hiking, biking and fishing. JASON also recently passed the Engineer-In-Training exam, a national exam that must be passed in order to eventually become a Professional Engineer.

JASON is a role model for new employees in the Akron Engineering Bureau and always exceeds the expectations placed on him. We are very fortunate to have an employee like JASON HARRIS.
