New Government Post for 2014 Alumna

Class of 2014 alumna Maria Kozdroy has found herself a new home and job in Burlington, Vt., as she works as a Construction Control Representative or Project Manager for government construction projects. The post is part of the General Services Administration, which is a government agency.

Maria assumed this role in August 2022 after previously working at AECOM in New York City as a structural engineer in their Transportation Department. In her new position, Maria manages a variety of government projects ranging from courtroom renovations to land port-of-entry renovations. She noted that her biggest management project to date with a value of over $500,000 has been replacing a historic copper roof and repairing the chimney for the Federal Courthouse in Rutland, Vt. She now is now working on a $2 million project

 

“I thoroughly enjoy working with customers (other Government agencies) in working together to achieve successful projects,” Maria explained.
