Employee of the Month
Roberto Santos | Senior Maintenance Worker, Community Services - Feb. 2024
Congratulations to Community Services Senior Maintenance Worker Roberto Santos for being chosen as our February 2024 Employee of the Month! Roberto started working for Community Services as a part time maintenance worker in 2014. He became a full-time maintenance worker in 2015 and was promoted to senior maintenance worker in 2018.
Roberto played a critical role in this year’s Veterans Day parade including the setup, breakdown and general support that he provided to patrons and staff throughout the event. He displays the county’s core values on a daily basis through his positive interactions with patrons, keeping our parks beautiful and pristine, staying accountable to his team, promotes positivity and friendliness, and collaborative approaches to challenges. He is an employee who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and we are proud to have him on our team. Keep up the great work, Roberto Santos!
