John Menniti, deputy chief of operations.

Menniti assumed his duties as deputy chief in November 2020. He was previously a resident engineer in construction for the Corps’ Middle East District in Saudi Arabia.

“I’m glad to be working for the St. Paul District and back in a civil works environment,” Menniti said. “I’m looking forward to learning more about the St. Paul District and eventually visiting operations sites and people.”

As the deputy, Menniti assists the chief of the operations in overseeing the district’s operations programs. This includes managing the division’s lock and dam operations, recreation areas and operations and maintenance.
