  • Construction Oversight: Create and manage construction contracts for projects ranging from thousands to millions of dollars, providing oversight on various construction activities.
  • Engineering Design and Analysis: Lead the collection of field data necessary for evaluating project performance and developing engineering designs, conducting feasibility studies to establish scope, schedule, and cost estimates for dam repair tasks.
  • Field Work: Engage in fieldwork approximately 15% of the time, which may occur under various weather conditions and outside regular working hours, involving physical activities such as climbing ladders and navigating sloped surfaces.

The Agency may offer a Training Assignment for interested candidates who do not meet the minimum experience qualifications.
