deJongh names Roberto Cintron as Assistant PWD
Commissioner
Gov. John P. deJongh, Jr. has appointed St. Croix
native son Roberto Cintron as Assistant Public Works Commissioner
effective July 1st. Cintron will be based on St. Croix.
“Roberto Cintron is another example of a young
Virgin Islander who has pursued a higher education and has returned home
to serve his community. I expect him to exhibit his skills and
experience at the Public Works Department as together with Commissioner
Darryl Smalls, they move that agency towards a new era of public
service,” said deJongh.
Cintron attended elementary and junior high
school on St. Croix and holds a Civil Engineering degree from the
University of Florida. He returned to the territory in 2006 as the
district engineer for PWD where he acted as the engineering arm for the
V.I. Government. His responsibilities included: the review and
inspection of all government building contracts; design, construction
and pavement of local roads, issuance of driveway and excavation
permits, and the design and construction of local engineering projects.
Prior to returning to the territory, Cintron worked in the private
sector in Florida where he held positions including: project engineer,
project manager and later, City Engineer for one of the company’s
largest clients, City of Deltona. In that capacity, Cintron was
responsible for the review of all development within the city.
