Robert H. Brinton, Jr. has been appointed as the Director of Public Works/Town Engineer for the Town of Orange. He will begin working for the town on Monday, May 14.
Bob is a life-long resident of Bethany. Following his graduation from Amity Regional High School in 1984, he earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Connecticut and a M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of New Haven. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Connecticut.
Early in his career, Bob worked for several engineering consulting firms and was involved with design and construction projects such as sanitary sewers and pump stations, highways, railroads, and fixed and movable bridges.
Bob served for 15 years as town engineer in Bloomfield, Milford, and Hamden, where he was involved with bridge repair and replacement, road reconstruction, storm drainage, sanitary sewers, and building projects.
Most recently he has been employed by the Western Connecticut Council of Governments, administering Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program projects and providing engineering technical assistance to the 18 towns in the region.
Bob looks forward to working in Orange and applying his experience to new challenges. He is glad that the current town engineer, Bob Hiza, plans to stay on to help with the transition, and share his knowledge gained through many years serving as the town engineer.
