Civil Engineering Technician IV

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to manage a group of engineering technicians in the planning, development, location, design, construction, and maintenance of highways, bridges, and other structures and facilities associated with the County road network and infrastructure. The work involves direct supervision over technical personnel engaged in highway and civil engineering activities. This classification is distinguished from the Civil Engineering Technician I, II and III by the level of responsibility assumed and the complexity of duties assigned to include defining the scope of work to be performed and reviewing the work in process and upon completion. Employee in this class must exercise considerable independent judgment in the coordination of difficult technical projects. The essential functions are: supervises two or more full-time employees; plans, directs, and coordinates all phases of highway and civil engineering projects; assists staff with activities associated with civil engineering projects; responds to inquiries or complaints from the public or public officials; and prepares memos and maintains records and files to document all phases of civil engineering projects. Work is performed with general oral or written instructions and guidelines provided by the Assistant County Engineer or the County Engineer. 

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from a regionally accredited four-year college or university and four years of professional engineering experience in highway or bridge construction. Professional Engineers license issued by the Alabama Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors preferred.  Related work experience may  substitute for a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering at a rate of two years of related work experience for each academic year of Civil Engineering college courses (i.e. twelve years of work related experience would be the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering plus four years of work related experience).
