40/8855/ET5/01.13.26-BH

About this Position:

This position serves as a Plant Manager, assigned as needed to various fabrication plants that produce precast and pre-stressed concrete products used in DOTD bridges and overpasses. These plants are located throughout Louisiana and neighboring states. On occasion, the DOTD may procure materials from plants located nationwide. Currently, the Department has eight (8) permanent fabrication plants that are certified to produce materials for DOTD. The number of fabrication plants fluctuates, depending on the number and size of construction projects using precast and pre-stressed concrete products. Plant assignments are made so that all four (4) DOTD plant managers have responsibility for one or more plants at any given time. During periods when fewer than eight plants are in operation, plant managers may share plant managers’ responsibilities. Due to the nature and location of work, the incumbent is required to travel and stay overnight for extended periods of time to perform inspection and certification duties at the plants.
