SENIOR ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN
The following County departments seek qualified candidates to fill anticipated positions Countywide:
Flood Control Department
TLMA - Transportation Department
Waste Management Department
Under general supervision, to do complex sub-professional civil engineering or land surveying work of a technically specialized nature in connection with planning, grading and drainage design, computer graphics, traffic, materials testing, environmental monitoring, hydrology, surveying, permits, or construction inspection activities; and to do other work as required.
This is the advanced level of engineering technician and the journey working level class of construction inspection. The Senior Engineering Technician is distinguished from the next lower level of Engineering Technician II in that the former is responsible for the more complex assignments, a higher degree of technical proficiency, and a wider exercise of initiative and independent judgment within defined technical and procedural limits. Construction inspection duties include responsibility for a wide variety of public works projects and subdivision tracts with considerable complexity and may include serving as assistant resident inspector. Supervision of subordinate personnel is common but not required.
Examples Of Duties: DEPENDING ON THE AREA OF ASSIGNMENT, DUTIES MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
ENGINEERING: Drafts plans, profiles, cross-sections, projections, and details and alignments for road construction, flood control and waste management projects; illustrates complex data in precise drawings using manual or computer aided design and drafting techniques.

SURVEYING: Performs complex sub-professional survey work of a technically specialized nature in connection with surveying, and the checking and preparation of records of surveys, corner records, maps and plans.
Field Duties: Leads and participates in the operation of a field survey crew engaged in performing control, Photogrammetric, right-of-way, centerline, topographic, alignment, and elevation surveys.
Adjusts and operates such survey instruments as transits, theodolites, levels, and electronic measuring devices in determining lines, angels, distances, and elevations; maintains proper safety and accuracy standards.
May assume duties of Principal Engineering Technician during leaves and vacations.
Office Duties: Reviews and checks tract maps, parcel maps, records of survey, and corner records for mathematical accuracy, closure, area, survey consistency, and conformity with the requirement of the Land Surveyors Act, and Subdivision Map Act, local ordinances, and accepted survey practices.
Drafts complex legal descriptions, easements, right-of-way maps, and survey plats, making necessary revisions and checking related computations for accuracy.
Consults with office or field surveyors relative to special survey problems and calculations.
