The National Association of County Engineers recognized a local resident as the 2026 Project Manager of the Year during its annual conference, held earlier this month in Arlington, Texas.

Bob Durbin graduated from Youngstown State University in June 1992 and began working for the Columbiana County Engineer’s Office as a bridge design engineer. He was promoted to deputy engineer in 1996.

Pam Dingman is the president of NACE and the Lancaster County Engineer.

“Bob’s decades of service is a testament to NACE, and I can think of no one more deserving of this honor,” she said. “Bob’s work involving the Mahoning County Local Public Agency program has exponentially improved the lives of all who travel throughout the County.”

In 2017, Durbin was hired as the deputy engineer for Mahoning County and has served in that capacity since. He oversees the daily operations of the engineering and administration departments, programs for bridge inspection and replacement, and the county’s LPA Federal Aid program.
