  • Professional Engineer (PE) / Licensed Civil Engineer in the State of California.
  • Experience as a Resident Engineer, Construction Manager, or Project Manager on a State Highway System project of at least $30 million.

Responsibilities

  • Ensure the safety of Construction Management employees, State employees, and Contractor’s employees by observing operations and traffic conditions.
  • Review contractor operations for compliance with CAL OSHA regulations.
  • Provide directions to staff to maintain complete and accurate contract records.
  • Plan, review, and assign work of subordinate field or construction field office personnel.
  • Review construction processes and engineering layouts.
