ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The work is performed indoors in an engineering office environment and outdoors in field conditions involving heavy traffic, steep terrain, muddy construction sites and exposure to poison oak. Field work is performed outdoors in a variety of weather conditions and involves walking on rough, uneven or rocky surfaces. Incumbents communicate with others orally, face to face, and by telephone and/or two-way radio. Incumbents are given oral direction or graphic information such as blueprints, schematic drawings, and layouts or other visual aids when receiving assignments. When operating office equipment such as a computer keyboard, mouse, and/or calculator, incumbents make fine, highly controlled, repetitive arm/hand movements. When operating a computer, incumbents sit for extended time periods with the ability to move at will. Incumbents raise arms overhead and/or bend and stoop to retrieve documents from file drawers. When performing field inspections and office duties, incumbents climb stairs and/or ladders, walk and stand for extended periods of time, and stoop and crouch with the ability to change positions as needed. When performing field inspections, incumbents respond to auditory warning devices. Construction inspection duties require incumbents to coordinate movement of more than one limb simultaneously while driving, to get in and out of a vehicle repeatedly, and to make visual inspections of contractors' work. During inspections, incumbents observe people in the field to monitor compliance with safety standards. Incumbents sometimes perform construction inspections at night and/or on weekends and holidays. Incumbents review or check the work products of less experienced staff. Incumbents sometimes use common hand tools such as a hammer, saw, or screw driver, pick or a utility box lifting device for design and inspection activities, or power tools such as a drill, power saw, or grinder. Incumbents discriminate among or match colors in order to inspect curb painting, pavement marking, and traffic signs.
