CLINT HERRERA, PE, MPA, M.ASCE
DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING DESIGN, PORT OF LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Clint Herrera is Director of the Engineering Design Division of the Engineering Bureau at the Port of Long Beach, California.
He began his career at the Port in September 2019 as Assistant Director of the division and was promoted to Director in December 2023 by the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners, the Port’s five-member governing body.
The Engineering Design Division is critical to the development and maintenance of Port infrastructure such as channels, roads, wharves, utilities and other facilities, producing technical reports, studies, plans and specifications for Port construction projects.
Mr. Herrera supervises and manages the Port’s Engineering Design team of professional and technical personnel, who make up the civil, structural, traffic, rail, electrical, specifications, corrosion control, underwater inspection, GIS/mapping, drafting (CADD) and terminal design sections, managing multiple in-house design projects and projects utilizing outside consultants.
Before coming to the Port, Mr. Herrera worked in public works with the cities of South Gate, where he was Deputy City Engineer/Acting City Engineer, and Corona, where he rose to Senior Civil Engineer. His experience also includes private sector engineering work including as Senior Civil Engineer with Parsons Brinckerhoff, Rail Systems Engineer with DMJM-Orange, and Utility Engineer with the DMJM-Alameda Corridor engineering team.
Mr. Herrera is a licensed Civil Engineer in California and earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Loyola Marymount University and a master’s degree in Public Administration from California State University, San Bernardino.

CESAR LARIOS, MBA, PE, CCM, M.ASCE
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR, PORT OF LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Cesar Larios, MBA, PE, CCM, is the Director of the Construction Management Division of the Engineering Services Bureau’s Program Delivery Group at the Port of Long Beach, California, promoted to the post in April 2026. His 27-year career includes 20 years as part of the Port’s Construction Management team.
As Director, Mr. Larios oversees the ongoing construction of the Port’s $3.3 billion capital improvement and modernization program – the largest of any non-energy port in the nation. Major projects managed by Mr. Larios include the Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility – dubbed “America’s Green Gateway” at its 2024 groundbreaking – and the infrastructure needed to double the Port’s container throughput by 2050, achieve zero-emissions operations and strengthen Long Beach’s position as the Port of Choice.
He has successfully completed many construction projects throughout the Port, most notably leading the Construction Management team for more than a decade to complete the $1.5 billion Middle Harbor Terminal Redevelopment Program, now known as the Long Beach Container Terminal. He was also responsible for managing and overseeing more than $900 million in construction contracts and over $100 million in construction management services contracts. The 300-acre Long Beach Container Terminal is equipped with nearly all electric and zero-emissions equipment and can handle up to 3.3 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent container units) annually. On its own, it would rank as America’s sixth-busiest container port.
Before coming to the Port, Mr. Larios was a construction field engineer with Traylor
Bros., Inc., working on bridges, dams and ports along the west coast.
Mr. Larios – a Registered Professional Engineer in California and a CMAA Certified Construction Manager – received his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Southern California and master’s in Business Administration from California State University, Long Beach.
