Description of Work

Salary Grade – NC16

The Work Zone Traffic Control Section within the Traffic Management Unit of the Transportation Mobility and Safety Division is seeking an entry-level engineer to assist in the design of in-house Transportation Management Plans (TMPs), review of consultant submitted TMPs, and standard/specification development for State Transportation Improvement Projects (STIP). TMPs are mandatory on all federally funded highway improvement projects by the Federal Highway Administration and are required to provide a contractor a design which manages motor vehicular, cyclist, and pedestrian traffic during construction and maintenance operations. As an extension of this directive, the North Carolina Department of Transportation also requires a TMP for all state-funded highway construction projects to accomplish the same goals of safety and mobility in all highway construction zones. In addition, the Work Zone Traffic Control Section is responsible for writing and updating all statewide policies, procedures and specifications for the use and application of traffic control devices on all NCDOT maintained roads.

This position is responsible for the independent TMP design, Project Cost Estimate, Project Specifications, and Road User Costs of projects assigned by the Regional Project Engineer. The level of TMP complexity this position handles on a day to day basis varies from basic to moderately complex. This position will also assist in the detail drawings of more complex projects being designed by higher level engineers. Additional assignments may include developing, maintaining, and cataloging the unit’s collection of specifications, special provisions, standard drawings, Request For Proposal (RFP) templates, Approved Products Listing (APL), and weekly work zone mobility snapshots. This position may also assist with maintaining and updating the unit’s Work Zone Application for Special Provisions (WASP), Work Zone Project Cost Estimating Database, and the Work Zone Traffic Control Connect Page (Sharepoint).

The successful candidate in this position should have a general knowledge of roadway construction and the ability to analyze roadway, structural, and drainage plans. Using this information, along with traffic data, the candidate should be able to develop a Traffic Management Strategy which will enable the project to be constructed safely, efficiently and economically. The candidate should also have experience working with CADD software and writing macros in Microsoft Office products, specifically Excel and Word, and should have experience in contract and specification writing, the ability to research and evaluate new product effectiveness in field applications, and the ability to generate project cost estimates.

The engineering work produced by this position is reviewed by the Lead Engineer of each Design Squad prior to submittal to the Regional Project Engineer for approval and/or sealing. All submittal reviews performed by this position will be approved by the Lead Engineer prior to submitting to the Consultant firm.
