State of Nevada

The presence of Nevada's earliest inhabitants, beginning about 12,400 years ago, is marked by many petroglyphs and archaeological sites. Baskets, decoys, and ingenious traps are evidence of the resourcefulness of these early people in a harsh and arid environment. European explorers traveled through Nevada in the early 19th century, but it was not until 1851 that the first settlements were established. An Act of Congress created the Territory of Nevada on March 2, 1861. James W. Nye of New York was appointed Nevada's first Territorial Governor by President Abraham Lincoln later that year. On October 31, 1864, President Lincoln proclaimed Nevada's admission to the Union as the 36th state. The State's first elected Governor, Henry Blasdel, took office on December 5, 1864. Today, Nevada is the nation's seventh largest state in land area. Several hundred mountain ranges cross its landscape, many with elevations over 10,000 feet. In contrast, the State's lowest point (along the Colorado River) is only 470 feet above sea level. From majestic mountains to desert valleys, nature has endowed Nevada with diverse and unique ecosystems. The Nevada Legislature has honored the State's natural resources and cultural heritage with a variety of State designations described below.

Job Description
***THIS RECRUITMENT MAY CLOSE WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS RECEIVED. APPLICANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE***

Job Summary

This position is located in Sparks, NV. This is an underfill for a Professional Engineer. Incumbent will be responsible for reviewing and approving temporary traffic control plans for construction contracts; encroachment permits; and special events and become an American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) certified Traffic Control Supervisor. Incumbent will review and comment on traffic impact studies for developments in District 2; assist in the determination of required design; and recommend mitigations for access into NDOT right-of-way. Incumbent will perform analysis of intersection control evaluations; road safety audits; corridor studies; and other engineering/planning documents to support the decision-making process for proposed operational and safety improvements on District 2 roadways. Incumbent will be responsible for reviewing and commenting on civil improvement plans for encroachment permits in NDOT right-of-way; producing plans and specifications for traffic-related district contracts; and working with contractors to administer those contracts. Incumbent will review and respond to customer comments regarding traffic operations in District 2; if modifications are needed, they will coordinate implementation of improvements.

Associate Engineers perform a broad range of engineering work not requiring licensure by the Nevada State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Associate Engineers are distinguished from Engineering Technicians by greater latitude in the interpretation and application of established engineering criteria, and their technical expertise in the particular program area and/or knowledge acquired in a baccalaureate course of study in engineering or a related discipline. In addition, Associate Engineer duties are typically distinguished from advanced Engineering Technician duties by a greater responsibility for reviewing, interpreting and using judgment to make recommendations and determinations based on data received, organized, compiled and summarized by lower level technical staff including Engineering Technicians.

Essential Qualifications

Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in civil engineering or closely related engineering field and two years of professional engineering experience; OR Certification by the Nevada State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors as an Engineer Intern, and two years of professional engineering experience in civil engineering or closely related engineering field; OR two years of experience as a Staff I, Associate Engineer or Supervisor I, Associate Engineer in Nevada State service; OR an equivalent combination of education and experience as described above.

Job Duties

Participate in the planning, design, analysis and inspection of construction and maintenance of transportation and highway systems, bridges, and other structures.

Design and analyze traffic systems including traffic signal systems, highway lighting systems, traffic striping detail and overhead traffic sign support structures.

Design and evaluate pavement structural sections for new and existing roadways; develop new structural section or develop appropriate rehabilitation strategy.

Perform technical and statutory review of water right applications; assist in hearings, preparing draft State Engineer Rulings and assist in administering water rights including water allocation, inventories, and distribution.

Provide water quality clearance for highway projects including technical reports for inclusion in required environmental impact statements and ensure compliance with federal and State water quality regulations; perform assessments and determine compliance with federal and State requirements regarding air quality, noise control and hazardous waste and prepare required reports.

Review applications, oversee inspections, and recommend appropriate enforcement action for facilities subject to federal and State regulations governing wastewater treatment, air pollution control, solid and hazardous waste management, and site remediation; review designs and implementation of pollution control systems and environmental remediation projects.

Identify new, replaced and/or rehabilitated bridges and map the location for future scheduling; obtain and review bridge plans and specifications; participate in on-site inspections of in-service bridges to gather field data and prepare final inspection report.

Conduct on-site highway construction inspections to ensure adherence to specifications and recommend corrective action when needed; prepare final reports including the Construction Engineering Manpower Management System (CEMMS) for construction contracts awarded by the department.

Perform related duties as assigned.

Incumbents either:
1) continue to work toward licensure as a professional engineer under the direct supervision of a Registered Professional Engineer;
or
2) work under limited supervision and perform advanced level engineering work not requiring licensure. Staff II positions are distinguished from Staff I positions by higher level knowledge, skills, and abilities; greater independence and decision-making responsibility; and greater latitude in making exceptions and substitutions based on additional engineering experience. Incumbents have a broader scope and complexity of projects and may be responsible for all or most of a project, whereas Staff I’s typically oversee small projects or less complex aspects of a large project. Staff II’s are typically responsible for assigning and reviewing the work of lower-level employees and, in a university setting, supervising students.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

This class specification lists the major knowledge, skills and abilities of the job and is not all inclusive. Incumbent(s) will be expected to have knowledge, skills and abilities from a previous level.

Working knowledge of: engineering principles and practices; computer software programs necessary to complete job assignments.

Ability to: make logical engineering judgments and decisions; read and understand engineering information from plans, drawings, specifications, manuals, correspondence, reports, graphs and memos; analyze technical information, problems, situations, practices or procedures to identify relevant concerns, formulate logical and objective conclusions and recognize alternatives and their implications; communicate orally using appropriate vocabulary and grammar to obtain and provide information and explain policies and procedures; write engineering reports and other technical documents; understand and perform statistical computations; establish rapport and gain the trust of others; operate personal computers and associated engineering software; and all knowledge, skills and abilities required at the lower levels.
