    Liza Wells, deputy district engineer, Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has had a long and impressive career of “firsts.” In May 2021, Wells became the first woman to serve as deputy district engineer—the most senior civilian at the organization. She was also the first female chief of the district’s Engineering and Construction Division, its Hydraulics and Hydrology Branch, and its Hydraulic Design Section.

    Incredible women of Portland District

    Women play a vital role in developing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and this great nation. They serve across all career paths in USACE, as leaders and supervisors, engineers and rangers, scientists, and administrators, to name a few. The progress made is astonishing when you consider that in 1903, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employed just three female clerks and it wasn’t until World War II that two women broke into engineering positions within the Corps. Today, 26 percent of the Portland District workforce are women and while all positions in the Army are open to women, only 18 percent of the total Army is female. Those numbers reflect the progress we still need to make.
