District pays tribute to Hessen senior project engineer

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District honors Robert Martinek, a senior project engineer in the agency’s Hessen Area Office, with a pair of accolades during a farewell ceremony Jan. 27 at the Amelia Earhart Center in Wiesbaden, Germany. Col. Matthew Tyler, district commander, presented him with the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service and a Certificate of Retirement. Martinek, who came to the district in March 2009, played a vital role in completing the Newman Village family housing program, Consolidated Intelligence Center parking garage and a multipurpose sports field on Clay Kaserne – projects with a combined value of $150 million, according to the award citation. His U.S. government civil service career, which began in September 1979, includes a stint as Engineering, Plans and Services Division chief for the Directorate of Public Works in Hanau. Martinek plans to work in the private sector around Kaiserslautern. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Vince Little)
