The incumbent must be able to travel by driving a state vehicle or by using commercial transportation. While in the office, the incumbent will be required to work in a climate-controlled environment under artificial lighting. While in the field, the incumbent will be required to work outdoors, day or night, near highway traffic with or without lane closures, and may encounter the following environments and entities: sun, heat, cold, rain, sleet, snow, fog, wind, noise, dust, dirt, trash, exhaust gases, aerially-deposited lead, lead contained in the paint and primer coatings of tunnel and bridge elements, chemicals, contaminated ground and water, unregulated human encampments, animals (such as snakes, birds, bats, spiders and rats) and their droppings, plants (such as poison oak, ivy and vines), mechanical system components (such as motors, fans, pumps, generators, belts, gears and piping), electrical system components (such as motors, panels, switchboards, transfer switches, lights and conduit), various structural and terrain features that exist in and around the tunnels and bridges (such as underground bores and plenums, sumps, confined spaces, steps, stairs, uneven surfaces, elevation breaks, waterways and heights), and a variety of sometimes extreme weather conditions and climates that occur in California.
This position may be eligible for telework. The amount of telework is at the discretion of the Department and based on Caltrans’s evolving telework policy. Caltrans supports telework, recognizing that in-person attendance may be required based on operational needs. Employees are expected to be able to report to their worksites with minimum notification if an urgent need arises. The selected candidate will be required to commute to the headquartered location as needed to meet operational needs. Business travel may be required, and reimbursement considers an employee’s designated headquartered location, primary residence, and may be subject to CalHR regulations or applicable bargaining unit contract provisions. All commute expenses to the headquartered location will be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
New to State candidates will be hired into the minimum salary of the classification or minimum of alternate range when applicable.
