Senior Engineering Technician
Under the supervision of the Base Civil Engineer, the Senior Engineering Technician assists in the performance of civil engineering work and provides engineering support services through the inspection of construction projects, participation in field survey work, management of small project survey parties, collection and analyzation of engineering data, review of contracts and contract specifications, and preparation and review of maps and plans. The position performs responsibilities in accordance with National Guard Bureau (NGB) standards (and where applicable those requirements of the Master Cooperative Agreement between the NGB and the DMNA), as well as agency and labor contract duties and responsibilities
current and as amended. The position may report to state and/or federal supervisory personnel.

Visually inspect projects to determine compliance with specifications and commonly accepted construction methods and standards. Compute quantities of materials used, such as volumes, lengths, and batch slip weights, to determine correct payment of contract estimates. Provide routine interpretations of construction specifications to contractor. Meet with contractor's on-site project supervisor to discuss and resolve problems noted during inspection, prepare inspection reports, noting problems and methods to correct them. Assist in or compiles records for projects from beginning of construction to completion. Gather all information needed for preparation of contract plans.

Provide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) support in the preparation of maps, sketches and diagrams of sites and proposed projects from data gathered from field surveys and office records. Prepares estimates of quantities of different materials needed for individual projects and calculates estimated project costs by pricing material and labor at prevailing rates. Prepare draft narrative and graphic material for inclusion in contract specifications. Assist in preparing alternate project plans, including evaluating efforts of different proposals on surrounding area and population and summarizing cost of alternatives. Perform engineering research and planning activities. May perform supervisory duties at assigned facility/s including but not limited to training, direct supervision, and assist in performance evaluations of subordinate staff.
