Positions held during my tenure with Freno County were as follows: 11/07/2016 – 08/02/2022
Supervising Engineer
• Served as a Supervising Engineer in the Design Division responsible for overseeing the supervisors of the Real Property, Right-of-Way, Traffic Services, and Design Services Sections.
• Successfully managed the activities of the sections responsible for performing appraisals and appraisal review for acquiring various rights-of-way; performing preparation of engineering drawings; preparing analysis of traffic impacts and mitigation measures associated with proposed developments; and for conducting the advertisement for bids for construction contracts and solicitation for requests for proposals for various engineering and other professional services.
07/20/2015 – 11/06/2016
Senior Engineer
• Upon completion of the complex Coalinga Landfill Clean Closure project described hereinafter, and after requesting and receiving Board of Supervisors approval for significant increased funding therefor due to project plans that did not adequately anticipate site conditions, I requested a voluntary transfer to this vacant Senior Engineer position in the Design Division.
• Provided primary management and planning for the activities of the section responsible for performing in-house evaluation of traffic impacts associated with the issuance of conditional use permits and of various improvement and development projects by both private and public entities which impacted transportation facilities operated and maintained by the county of Fresno.
09/29/2014 – 07/19/2015
Construction Engineer
• Served as the Construction Division Manager responsible for day-to-day operations of the division comprised of approximately twenty-five engineers and technicians and one administrative staff member. These included first- line and supervisory staff responsible for the Materials Lab, the Surveys Section, and the Resident Engineers, Inspectors, and the Labor Compliance Senior Engineering Technician.
• Successfully shepherded complex projects to successful completion, the most costly and difficult of which was the clean closure of the Coaling Disposal Site which involved complications including extensive subterranean rock formations where the plans envisioned routine excavation. I personally visited the site repeatedly and conferred with the contractor and with the Department Director to ensure change orders were prepared and recommended to the Board of Supervisors avoiding what would have been costly and pointless ligation between the county and the contractor.
