Flux Resources is seeking two Engineering Services Managers (ESMs), one who will primarily oversee the engineering staff, capital projects, and capital maintenance work on the County's six WIllamette River Bridges (four of which are movable bridges that open for river traffic) and one to primarily oversee the engineering staff, capital projects, and capital maintenance work on the County's 269 miles of urban and rural roads, 23 small bridges, and 1,690 culverts in Troutdale, Wood Village, Fairview, on Sauvie Island, in the west hills, and the areas around Corbett.
Both ESMs will be expected to support each other and the other managers in Transportation, share staff, and at times, manage projects in both programs to ensure the overall success of the Transportation Division.
As an ESM within our Transportation Division, you will plan, organize and supervise professional engineering design, construction and project management functions for the County's Road or Bridge program in a manner that is consistent with the stated values and priorities of the County Board of Commissioners and the Department of Community Services. In your work you will develop and implement projects within the County's Capital Improvement Programs for the road system and the Willamette River Bridges; plan, prioritize, assign, supervise and review the work of staff engineers and engineer technicians involved with multiple & simultaneous multimillion-dollar engineering design and construction projects. In addition, you will build and maintain constructive and cooperative relationships with other agencies, support Transportation Maintenance with the development of engineering solutions for a variety of maintenance needs, and coordinate with Transportation Planning to respond to public inquiries and develop capital project grant applications. This is a working manager position, so your desire to work hands-on in many complex projects is essential.
