À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode of Platform Chats, Walt Bleser sits down with Kate O’Connor—Chief Engineer at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) and member of AREMA’s Board of Governors—for a conversation that covers everything from 100-year-old bridges to modern-day megaprojects, and a little career wisdom in between.

Kate shares her journey from walking cables in New York to overseeing nearly everything at SEPTA, including track, power, stations, buildings, and cleaning crews. She discusses managing a $5 billion backlog, navigating tight budgets, and completing major bridge replacements without disrupting the system.

They also dig into mentorship, cross-department collaboration, and why showing up for your team and your industry still matters. A sharp, candid look at leading in public infrastructure, with a few laughs along the way.
