  • Carry out annual performance reporting on dam performance.
  • Provide technical support and project coordination of the dive inspection, animal control, vegetation control, surveying, and gate testing programs.
  • Support the Public Safety Management Program.
  • Provide supervision and project management of maintenance, inspection and small-to-medium scale construction projects.

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil, Geotechnical or Geological Engineering.
  • 4-10 years of relevant experience, with a focus in geotechnical engineering.
