Civil Engineering Technician (4856-50)
About The Position
Join the Hamilton County Engineer's Office Asset Management Team! We're looking for a Civil Engineering Technician who enjoys a mix of field work and technology. You'll use specialized robotic inspection equipment, GIS, CAD, and other innovative tools to inspect infrastructure, collect and analyze data, and help build the future of Hamilton County's asset management program. Every day is different from exploring storm sewer systems with cutting-edge technology to supporting engineering projects that improve our community. If you're looking for a hands-on career with opportunities to learn, grow, and make a real impact, we'd love to have you on our team.
