Engineering Technician I/II (Material Testing Technician)
County of Riverside in, Riverside, California, United States, 92504
The level at which the position will be filled is at the Department's discretion and contingent on the candidate's experience and qualifications.
The County of Riverside’s Flood Control Department has an opportunity for an Engineering Technician I/II who will be assigned to Construction and Maintenance division in Riverside.
The Engineering Technician I/II performs on-site technical and quality control inspections for the Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s public works and developer-funded drainage projects. The Engineering Technician I/II will work on storm drain facilities such as underground pipes, box drains, open channels, levees, and basins, often involving reinforced concrete work, trenching, shoring, utility relocation, soil compaction, and traffic or environmental safety measures. The Engineering Technician I/II also assists senior staff with maintaining project records, including quantity reports and daily logs, and fosters effective working relationships with contractors, vendors, and project personnel. This position is primarily field-based however, the Engineering Technician I/II will occasionally perform office work.
The Engineering Technician I is a natural progression underfill for the Engineering Technician II. Incumbents are eligible to promote to Engineering Technician II upon successful completion of their probationary period, which would include a satisfactory performance evaluation and any additional qualification requirements.
This position follows a 5/40 schedule, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Competitive candidates will have experience inspecting public works construction projects involving reinforced concrete structures, such as channels, storm drain pipes, roads, walls, or bridges. Experience in soils and construction materials testing, use of Bluebeam software, operation of nuclear testing gauges, and possession of an ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician – Grade I Certification are highly desirable.
Meet the Team! The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District provides for the control and conservation of flood and storm waters and for the protection of watercourses, watersheds, public highways, life and property from damage within its boundaries.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL TESTING
Observe work in progress to ensure construction procedures are followed and that material used conforms to specifications.
Collect and prepare aggregates, concrete mixes and soil samples in the field for subsequent laboratory testing and characterization (e.g. moisture content, density, sieve analysis etc.).
Follow proper procedures and perform accurate testing and computations related to on-site materials, and soil compaction testing as well as laboratory testing and analysis.
May be assigned to perform off-site inspections at pre-cast concrete structure manufacturing plants.
Upload a copy of the diploma/transcript (unofficial acceptable) and/or certificate as part of the application. See “Proof of Education” below under “APPLICATION INFORMATION” for more information regarding requirements.
