  • Knowledge: Thorough working knowledge of highway construction site procedures.
  • Skills: Excellent technical, analytical, writing, and communication skills.
  • Aptitude: Strong ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, objective evidence for non-technical audiences.
  • Other:Aclean background screen, a driver’s license, and the ability to drive.

Experience that helps, though not required:

  • Highway/roadway design and/or maintenance
  • Materials testing
  • Residential or commercial land development
  • Stormwater systems design
  • Parking lot design/construction

Work style:

Approximately 20% of the role is travel for training and inspections. The remainder is analysis and report writing, working independently and as part of a collaborative team.
