Department of Transportation
SENIOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER, CALTRANS
Job Description and Duties
Under the general direction of the Supervising Transportation Engineer, Caltrans (District Division Chief of Engineering), the Senior Transportation Engineer, Caltrans serves as the District Closure Manager (DCM) in charge of the District Closure Management Branch in the Engineering Division. The incumbent is responsible for supervising and providing technical guidance and direction for a staff of engineers and technicians on issues related to Lane Requirement Charts and the Lane Closure System. Caltrans' emphasis towards the State Highway System (SHS) has largely shifted from new construction to the reconstruction, rehabilitation, operation, and maintenance of existing facilities. With the ever-increasing traffic volumes on California's SHS and more complex highway corridor projects, the need to actively manage traffic on the state's highway facilities is very critical in order to prevent unreasonable traffic delays resulting from planned work.
Possession of a valid certificate of registration as a civil engineer issued by the California State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers is required for this position.
Eligibility for hire may be determined by your score on the Senior Transportation Engineer, Caltrans exam. For those who do not have current eligibility (e.g., transfer, permissive reinstatement, or voluntary demotions) and/or who will be new to state civil services employment, you must be on the state examination list to be eligible for these positions.
