Identify infrastructure deficiencies, flooding concerns, maintenance needs, safety hazards, water quality issues, regulatory concerns, and potential capital improvement needs.
Evaluate constructability, maintenance access, utility conflicts, environmental constraints, site limitations, and long-term operational impacts of proposed stormwater improvements.
Support stormwater facility retrofits, BMP restoration, drainage remediation, channel rehabilitation, outfall stabilization, dam-related improvements, flood mitigation, and asset protection projects.
Support OSDM’s MS4/NPDES permit responsibilities, including stormwater facility inspections, maintenance documentation, restoration tracking, compliance reporting, and annual report support.
Coordinate with internal and external partners on triennial inspection of SWM facilities condition updates, corrective actions, compliance priorities, maintenance schedules, and long-term asset management strategies.

Manage, coordinate, and document levee and pump station activities necessary to meet federal operation and maintenance requirements, including USACE standards, project-specific Operation and Maintenance Manuals, 33 CFR Part 208.10, levee inspection programs, flood-fighting readiness, pump station readiness, and continuous levee patrols during flood periods.
Coordinate GIS-based workflows to support stormwater facility tracking, inspection documentation, preventive maintenance planning, project prioritization, and operational decision-making.
Manage and coordinate consultant engineers, construction managers, inspectors, environmental specialists, contractors, GIS professionals, and other technical service providers.
Develop, review, and manage task orders for engineering, inspection, construction management, GIS, environmental, construction, and related professional services.
Monitor consultant and contractor performance, schedules, budgets, deliverables, field progress, quality control, and compliance with contract requirements.
Participate in pre-construction meetings, progress meetings, field reviews, stakeholder meetings, interagency coordination meetings, and project closeout meetings.
Review construction issues, evaluate field conditions, resolve technical problems, recommend practical solutions, and ensure work is consistent with County standards and regulatory requirements.
Coordinate construction-phase documentation, including daily reports, photographs, inspection records, redline revisions, as-built certifications, closeout documents, and final project files.
Coordinate with County agencies, municipalities, state and federal agencies, utility companies, consultants, contractors, community organizations, elected officials, residents, and the public on stormwater infrastructure matters.
Prepare written correspondence, technical reports, briefing materials, maps, presentations, project updates, public-facing summaries, and responses to technical questions regarding drainage, flooding, stormwater facilities, project status, and maintenance needs.
Support community meetings, public outreach, stakeholder engagement, inspections, field reviews, public forums, and other activities where OSDM representation is required.
Participate in severe weather response, flood response, Severe Storm and Flooding Operations, Snow and Ice operations, emergency operations, and other special assignments, including pre- and post-storm field assessments and emergency repair prioritization.
About the Agency
The Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) is responsible for nearly 2,000 miles of County-maintained roadways that range from rural to urban classifications. The transportation infrastructure includes 900 bridges, as well as shoulders, sidewalks, curbs/gutters, stormwater management facilities, driveway aprons and nearly 3,000 acres of grassy area -- all of which are maintained by staff of the Department. DPW&T’s workforce keeps the County’s various services moving by performing a myriad of activities which include removing snow and ice from County-maintained roadways, upgrading traffic signals, installing streetlights, clearing fallen trees, unclogging drainage inlets and maintaining stormwater management facilities, as well as performing roadway repairs ranging from potholes and sidewalk trip hazards to bridge repairs and resurfacing projects and more.
