Oklahoma Department of Transportation employee Matt Voyles was recently recognized for his work performance and named Division One’s Employee of the Quarter for the second quarter of 2018. The quarterly award recognizes hard work and is given to dedicated ODOT employees who consistently exhibit the highest standards in job performance.
Voyles is a Transportation Equipment Operator III for the division’s sign crew and has worked for ODOT for four years. He was nominated for the award by a coworker who wished to remain anonymous.
“Matt is constantly helping his coworkers by making sure they’re not trying to lift too much weight or lift awkward objects by themselves,” the anonymous coworker who nominated him said. “His strong work ethic helps his crew increase its production, which in turn helps make our highways safer for the traveling public.”
In addition to his commitment to a safe and productive working environment, Voyles was recognized as an employee who has made an effort to expand his knowledge and expertise.
“Matt is eager to learn and has picked up on the operation of the equipment used by the sign crew very quickly,” Voyles’ coworker said. “He has taken advantage of the heavy equipment operator classes offered by Division One and has performed and tested well throughout the program.”
Voyles lives in Muskogee and enjoys camping, hiking, kayaking and spending time with friends and family.
Division One is headquartered in Muskogee and oversees highway construction and maintenance in Adair, Cherokee, Haskell, McIntosh, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Sequoyah and Wagoner counties.
