The Position

Bargaining Unit: Local 21 - Supervisory Management

Why join the Contra Costa Public Works Department?

The Contra Costa County Public Works Department is offering an excellent employment opportunity to fill one vacant Senior Civil Engineer position in the Flood Control Division, located in Martinez, CA. While the current vacancy is assigned to the Flood Control Division, Senior Civil Engineers work across five engineering divisions: Design/Construction, Engineering Services, Flood Control, Maintenance, and Transportation Engineering providing professional engineering services related to the planning, design, construction, improvement, and/or maintenance of road and drainage infrastructure within the unincorporated County, as well as flood control facilities for the County Flood Control District.

The Senior Civil Engineer works directly with the Division Manager, Associate Civil Engineer, and Project Engineers to shape the various types of infrastructure being developed and constructed as well as the projects, programs, services, policies, and procedures being developed and implemented to maintain and improve our community’s infrastructure and quality of life. The Senior Civil Engineer also helps develop and maintain long-lasting relationships with our partner departments, agencies, and communities to provide safe and sustainable projects, programs, and quality services to our customers.

The Contra Costa County Public Works Department (CCCPWD) is responsible for the maintenance and operation of over 650 miles of roads, 79 miles of streams and channels, and over 150 County buildings. CCCPWD services include parks and recreation, sandbag distribution, flood control, road and facilities maintenance, and storm water management. CCCPWD operates two airports, Buchanan Field Airport in Concord, and Byron Airport in Byron. CCCPWD strives for continuous improvement to deliver cost effective, safe reliable and sustainable projects, programs, and quality services.

Has a positive attitude; as both a supervisor and team leader.
Is an effective communicator who can relate to staff with varied backgrounds/training, professional colleagues, County constituents, and County leadership.
Is a multi-tasker willing to assume challenges and manage a varied workflow.
Is flexible and adaptable to changing situations.
Is willing to continuously learn and improve while also training and mentoring others.
Is a strategic thinker that values input and contribution from others.
Values the importance of mentoring staff.
What you will typically be responsible for:
Leading the design of complex engineering projects with a team typically consisting of Associate Civil Engineers, Project Engineers, staff engineers, engineering technicians, administrative analysts, professional consultants, contractors, outside agencies, developer engineers, etc.
Directly supervising, coaching, training, and mentoring staff.
Ensuring the delivery of projects and program initiatives.
Resolving technical and personnel conflicts to maintain project workflow and progress.
Monitoring changes in the civil engineering industry that may affect County standards, policies, and procedures and advise management on how to best adjust department programs to remain in compliance.
Attending community meetings, as needed, such as Municipal Advisory Councils; represent the Department at public hearings such as the Board of Supervisors, County Planning Commission, and Zoning Administrator meetings; serving as the primary contact for the unit’s programs and services.
Responding to inquiries and complaints from elected officials, constituents, department staff, outside agencies, and applicants/permittees and act as the primary department representative.

You will feel supported by senior staff while also having the ability to mentor others.
You will work on interesting and challenging projects such as designing, constructing, and maintaining road and drainage facilities which will keep you engaged. The work directly affects our community’s quality of life.
Collaboration with other divisions, departments, outside agencies, consultants, and the public will expand your reach and knowledge and help with building and fostering positive long-lasting relationships.
You will help implement standards, policies, and procedures related to road and drainage infrastructure, while also helping to review, refine, and change them to reflect changing times and help the department adapt to our political, social, and economic environments.
You will share your knowledge and skills with others and positively contribute to their professional development and career.
A few challenges you might face in this job:
Public/government agencies have limited resources, which gives us opportunities to be strategic in maneuvering through myriads of requirements, regulations, policies, procedures, and oversight. Meeting these requirements may be time-consuming but are necessary, as they are part of the checks and balances in place.
You will be joining a unit that will likely have team members of varying levels of knowledge and experience. Maintaining a sufficient level of adequate and well-trained staff may be a challenge with retirements, departures, rotations, and promotions.
Projects, tasks, priories, and daily demands may change requiring you to adjust your planned activities to provide quality services within the target date and budget. Various political, social, and economic factors influence our work, thus any changes affect the work we do and require reviewing and updating our ordinance, policies, and procedures.
Public meetings may occur outside of our core office hours; thus, you will need to be flexible in your schedule and balance these meetings with other priorities and tasks.
