Roadway Technician
Summit Design and Engineering Services
Hillsborough, NC
10.2021 - 08.2024
My duties of being a Roadway Technician are speaking daily/nightly with contractor on plan for day/night operations and answering any questions about the project they may have as well as speaking with my other technician out in the field with me on the plan for the operation. I document, report, test materials, ensure safe work environment is provided as well as ensuring the operation is matching what plans call for.
REASON FOR LEAVING: I have always wanted to work for the NCDOT every since starting in the Roadway Technician field. I am worried about the lay off that happened in 2019 and want a job that is secure with great pay and benefits. I currently have been working out of the NCDOT Century Center since last year under Grayson Floyd on 540 resurfacing project and have enjoyed working out of the Century Center.
