Port of Long Beach appoints new manager of engineering division

The Long Beach Board of harbour commissioners has approved the appointment of Tasha Higgins to lead the program management division at the Californian port from 26 March.

As part of the port’s engineering services bureau, the program management division oversees improvements to waterways, wharves, terminals, railroads, bridges, roadways and utilities.

Higgins started at the Port of Long Beach in October 2020 as assistant director of program management. She has made a significant impact on the division’s implementation of quantitative risk assessments and improved small business participation on contracts within the engineering services bureau, according to the US port.

Prior to joining POLB, Higgins had worked since 1993 on various transportation improvement programs for agencies including Long Beach Transit, Los Angeles World Airports, the Los Angeles county metropolitan transportation authority and the California department of transportation, in addition to privately-held consulting companies.
