Title:  Field Civil Engineer III

Overview

The Agency of Transportation is seeking independent thinking, a self-motivated civil engineer with field experience to serve as a Chief Inspector or Resident Engineer providing oversight on highway construction projects. If you love working in the field and want to put your engineering background to work in the beautiful rural settings of Vermont, this position could be right for you!

Resident Engineers are exposed to a wide variety of construction projects ranging from paving, roadway, and bridge construction, to railroad work and even the occasional covered bridge restoration. In this position, you will collaborate with designers, contractors, state and local officials, and subject matter experts from all disciplines of engineering and construction. Depending upon project size and complexity, you may be leading a team of inspectors and office staff and could often be overseeing multiple projects at once. The work can be challenging and yet very rewarding with abundant opportunities for professional growth and career advancement. The official workstation is Construction Headquarters in Berlin, but you will report directly to projects when they are active. This position is regional, so even though the official workstation is Berlin there are opportunities to report elsewhere in the off-season. These include but are not limited to the regional offices in Colchester, Mendon, White River Junction, or St. Johnsbury. There is potential for telework in the off-season as well.

 

This position is classified as a Civil Engineer III by the Department of Human Resources.
