| 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 responsible 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 journey level class of engineering technician and the first working level class for construction inspection projects. The Engineering Technician II is distinguished from the Engineering Technician I in that the former performs assignments of larger scope and works more independently. Incumbents may be assigned as construction inspectors on small public works projects and subdivision tracts or as assistant construction inspectors on major public works projects and subdivision tracts. Incumbents may also be assigned to perform moderately difficult job duties as an instrument technician on a survey party. |

| Examples Of Duties: | ||
| DEPENDING ON THE AREA OF ASSIGNMENT, DUTIES MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
ENGINEERING: • Does limited design of roadways and appurtenant structures; revises elements of simple engineering designs within established limits. • Calculates and computes quantities and costs of material for a variety of construction projects; prepares maps using manual or computer aided techniques. • Enter appropriate computer commands into system for mapping process; digitizes maps for data entry; operates plotter for computerized map preparation. • Checks subdivision maps for mathematical accuracy, closure, area, survey consistency and accuracy, and legal conformity; prepares legal descriptions and plats; performs laboratory analysis of field samples of soils, aggregates, concrete mixes, and other materials for compliance with county standards and contract specifications. • Investigates and makes diagrams, reports, and recommendations on high accident locations and other sites; coordinates traffic census program; collects, interprets, records, and makes graphical presentations of information gathered in traffic, transportation, and other studies and surveys. FLOOD CONTROL: • Plots hydrographs; reduces hydrologic data to charts and computes and plots stream flow rating curves; plots isohyetal and groundwater contour maps. • Installs and operates hydrologic data station equipment; assists in the preparation of estimates of future traffic and travel patterns. WASTE DISPOSAL: Under direction of Principal Engineering Technician or supervising Engineer: • Assists in preparing technical reports on solid waste landfill sites, including availability of cover material, expected life, effect of run-off, access, and ecological impact. • Performs sampling, inspection, monitoring and construction of gas collection systems, including flare stations and gas-to-energy systems, and ground/surface water monitoring systems at landfill sites. Also performs air quality sampling. • Assists Site Supervisor/Site Engineer in investigating and handling complaints arising out of disposal site operation. • Performs daily site inspection of active landfill sites to ensure all permit and safety requirements are being met. Assists site engineer in survey support of daily landfill construction. • Assists in construction inspection for public works construction projects. SURVEYING: Performs moderately difficult sub-professional field and office surveying work. • Sets up and maintains filing and indexing systems for road record documents, survey records, maps, accident records, transportation data, and other engineering record materials. • Inspects the construction of less complex public works projects and subdivision tracts to assure compliance with plans, specifications, county standards and regulatory requirements. Files daily construction reports and associated documentation. • Field Work: Acts as instrument technician on a survey crew; operates electronic measuring equipment as well as transit and level in making cross-section, profile, topographic, elevation, Photogrammetric, location and construction layout surveys. • Makes computations and records readings; checks and prepares field notes; may act as Party Chief on a short term relief basis. • Office Work: Drafts topographic, geometric alignment, cross-sectional, and profile drawings and maps using manual or computer aided techniques. • Conducts title and property owner research; prepares legal descriptions and various legal documents relating to real property; calculates bearings, distances, areas and performs other calculations. • Prepares drawings and sketches tracings from survey notes and other records; prepares detailed and precise maps including right of way maps. |
