Description

The County of Riverside's Flood Control & Water Conservation District has an opportunity for a Senior Engineering Technician who will be assigned to the District's Design Division in Riverside.

The Senior Engineering Technician (SET) will be responsible for preparing complete construction drawings for all projects assigned, preparing exhibits as needed, and assisting project engineers with computer-aided modeling and analysis. Perform sub-professional field and office civil engineering work.

Candidates will have advanced experience using AutoCAD and Civil 3D drafting software in support of civil engineering design and plan production. This includes creating, updating, and maintaining Civil 3D templates and providing technical support related to complex Civil 3D functionality. Highly competitive candidates will demonstrate advanced proficiency in the use of pipe networks and corridor modeling, including the ability to provide technical guidance or training to other staff. Additional desired experience includes troubleshooting advanced Civil 3D issues and developing or modifying AutoLISP routines to support standardized workflows. Completion of certified AutoDesk training with an emphasis on Civil 3D is highly desirable.

The Senior Engineering Technician is a natural progression underfill for the Senior Engineering Technician - PE. Incumbents are eligible to promote to Senior Engineering Technician - PE upon attaining a valid certification of registration as a Civil Engineer.

Advancement to the Principal Engineering Technician level is obtained by competitive selection through an open recruitment. Advancement to the Associate Surveyor is obtained by competitive selection through an open recruitment.

Meet The Team!

The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District provide 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.

• Using computer aided drafting software such as: (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, Google Earth, Sketch-up, etc.), to prepare design and construction plans, exhibits and standard drawings from design engineers' sketches, notes, penciled lines, and dimensions.

• Perform area and volume calculations to generate accurate quantity takeoffs. Occasionally assist design engineers in field reconnaissance of project sites such as measuring and recording of distances and height using hand level and measuring tape.

• Operate plotters to generate construction plans and exhibits to proper scales and in conformance with RCFC&WCD Drafting Manual and Standards. Draft construction changes to prepare record drawings.

• Develop and implement drafting standards. Prepare and maintain drafting workflows and best practices. Troubleshoot drafting or production issues with Division staff.

• Organize and maintain records of computer aided drafting files in digital and PDF formats.

• Assist with creating customized drawing and layer templates, custom labels and styles, as well as other support needed with AutoCAD and Civil3d software's

OPTION IExperience: Four years of sub-professional civil engineering experience, at least one year of which must have been at a level equivalent to a County of Riverside Engineering Technician II. (College courses from an accredited college or university in civil engineering or closely related subjects to the assignment such as land surveying, soils erosion, soils testing, blueprint reading, mathematics, computer graphics, or hydrology may substitute for up to two years of the non-specialized experience on the basis of 12 semester or 18 quarter units equaling one year of the required full-time experience.)

OPTION IIEducation: A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in surveying engineering or civil engineering.

Experience: One year of sub-professional engineering experience equivalent to a County of Riverside Engineering Technician II.

OPTION IIICertification: Valid Certificate of Registration as an Engineer-in-Training or Land Surveyor-in-Training issued by the California State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers.

Experience: Two years of sub-professional engineering experience.
