Senior Diesel Technicians are responsible for diagnosing and repairing a wide variety of mechanical problems as well as highly specialized and technical areas such as Compressed Natural Gas, and other alternative fuel conversion and repairs. Senior diesel technicians must diagnose the more complicated drivability problems, performing the maintenance, repair, and inspection of the Compressed Natural Gas fueling station, and serving as a lead worker to other Automotive Mechanics.
Senior Level
Supply Chain Manager
Supply Chain Manager coordinate and manage the production, transportation, and delivery of goods and products, and oversee inventory control, purchasing, and product development. These professionals analyze the production process and make recommendations to improve the efficiency of the workflow and quality of the products while cutting costs. Lastly, Supply Chain Managers ensure that there are sufficient materials and supplies on hand for production and that there is sufficient inventory to meet customers’ demands.
Highway Safety Engineer
Highway Safety Engineers analyze engineering problems, apply technical expertise and engineering judgment and produce innovative solutions through the use of complex interactive computer systems to meet legal and management objectives. Highway Safety Engineers also provide professional and technical excellence in highway engineering, including identifying, preparing, designing, and planning order works and services. The position entails corresponding with elected officials, district councils, and other stakeholders to manage the implementation of engineering projects. Engineers must provide timely and accurate information to these groups as well as the general public on highway-related matters. Lastly, Highway Safety Engineers support health and safety, environmental management systems, quality management systems, and construction design management.
Senior Human Factors Engineer
Senior Human Factors Engineers apply human performance principles, methodologies, and technologies to the design of human/machine systems and products. Senior human factors engineers develop and implement research methodologies and statistical analysis plans to test and evaluate developmental prototypes used in all phases of products development and processes, and designs and executes tests to simulate product use for the purposes of concept selection/refinement, requirements development, use related risk identification and formal usability validation with intended users. They also identify and analyzes technological problems or risks, performs theoretical human factors investigations, and develops and implements research and analysis plans.
Highway Safety Planner
A Highway Safety Planner participates in safety plan development and implementation, cooperates on Statewide or regional safety-related committees such as emphasis area teams, to discuss and collaborate on safety issues, crash data collection and management, and data analysis tools, such as geographic information system (GIS) crash mapping. They also specialize in a specific transportation mode, such as transit, freight, bicycle, or pedestrian. Highway Safety Planners identify existing and future short- and long-range needs, identify projects and programs, help in establishing priorities, and evaluate outcomes. Experience from each of these areas may provide insight on current safety issues and needs, as well as effective methods for addressing them.
Human Factors Researcher
Human Factors Researchers help prioritize users’ needs and evaluate experiences at different stages of development. Human factors researchers are responsible for leading research to better understand the needs of users and sharing insights on how internal processes and products can be improved to optimize how we empower users to navigate their digital journeys. Human factors researchers are often required to have a BA/BS degree in English, communications, or equivalent practical experience.
