Mike Knoff was recently selected as the new chief of the engineering and construction division. His responsibilities include overseeing the overall execution of the division’s mission. This includes supervising and directing the activities of the division staff; monitoring work progress and project quality to ensure budget, schedule and customer needs are met; and conducting long range planning for the organization.
Knoff has worked for the Corps of Engineers since 1985 and in the St. Paul District since 1999. He was previously the chief of the district’s hydraulics and hydrology branch and most recently the deputy chief of the engineering and construction division.
“My vision is to have a high performing workforce that’s highly motivated, produces high quality products and meets the needs of the district’s customers,” Knoff said. “We are in the middle of many changes in the division as we respond to a large and growing workload. This is a challenging and exciting time in engineering and construction, and I’m fortunate to be able to lead an organization of outstanding, dedicated professionals that are up to meeting these challenges.”
Knoff holds a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering and a Master of Science in engineering from South Dakota State University. He is also a registered professional engineer in the state of Nebraska and a member of the Society of American Military Engineers and the American Society of Civil Engineers. He enjoys biking, spending time with his children and grandchildren and spending time at the lake.
