• Communications:
  Communicate effectively with customers internal and external to VDOT including local governments, elected officials, citizen groups, and FHWA.
• Conduct Engineering Studies:
  Participate in or oversee engineering studies. Collect, analyze and process data and information. Develop written reports, recommendations, and solutions that are technically accurate and compliant. Prepare business correspondence and technical letters with recommendations for suggested corrective measures as a result of studies. Prepare or present formal presentations for VDOT staff, or other organizations.
• Design, Analyze and Check Structural Elements:
  Prepare preliminary and final bridge and structure designs for new construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects. Prepare bridge plans, sketches, and structural drawings. Check structural plans prepared by others. Ensure shop plans meet AASHTO and VDOT specifications, are geometrically correct and meet requirements of project design plans. Investigate condition of existing structures and assist in developing scope of proposed bridge rehabilitations.
  
  Analyze structures for safe load carrying capacity and perform structural calculations to ensure soundness and compliance of structural elements.
• Meetings:
  Schedule, lead and participate in pre-construction conferences, contract showings, and other related structure and bridge construction meetings. Provide a thorough review of structural plans to ensure they conform with AASHTO and VDOT guidelines and specifications to minimize field problems and delays.
