Due to the nature of the inspection work that Engineering Technicians perform, incumbents are required to work indoors, in an office setting, and outdoors.

They drive across the County in assigned County vehicles on dirt roads, pavements, and in various weather conditions.

As these positions conduct site inspections in the unincorporated areas of Sonoma County, incumbents may be exposed to natural hazards such as poison oak, ticks, and other wildlife.

If you enjoy a mixture of office and outdoor work and are comfortable working in hiking boots, bring your technical skills and positive attitude to Sonoma
