Work requires the operation of a motor vehicle on steep mountainous roads. Incumbent must be able to perform occasional travel assignments.
Working Conditions: Work is performed in an adequately lighted and climate controlled office as well as in the field. Occasional visits are made to contractor sites for monitoring and inspecting projects. For onsite visits, incumbent is exposed to inclement weather, hazards typical of construction areas, and in mountainous terrain which may be snowy. Use of protective gear such as hard hats and work boots in construction areas is required. Field work includes exposure to extreme weather conditions,steep and uneven terrain, pesticides, biting insects, and wild animals. Office work will require the ability to sit for extended periods of time working at a computer. Work occasionally includes travel to different sites over long distance and exposure to extreme weather conditions (i.e. rain, snow, fog).
