Special Inspector / Engineering Technician The six levels of certification convey the following performance capabilities: Level I Trainee limited to tasks under frequent supervision. Level II Engineering Technician-in-Training work under general daily supervision. Level III Special Inspector / Engineering Technician work with little or no daily supervision on jobs covered by standards, plans, specifications, or instructions. Level IV Senior Level Engineering Technician / Lead Inspector works independent and is delegated responsibilities and duties for which engineering precedent exists. Level V Project Manager Level VI Technical Supervisor |
Descriptions of Job-Task Competency Programs This section provides a brief description of each of the work element-based specialty technical certification programs. Part A - General Section I Code of Ethics To safeguard the health and well being of the public and to maintain integrity and high standards of skills, practice, and conduct in the occupation of inspection. Section II Job Safety Driving, back injures, radiation, equipment, trenches, heights Section III Communications Internal communications, reporting requirements (DCWOs), customer, general public (project confidentiality) Section IV Basic Mathematics Solve mathematical problems requiring simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and raising numbers to exponential powers. Round to the correct number of significant figures, calculate percentage, read graphs, and use simple geometric definitions and formulas. Section V Physical Science and Strength of Materials Section VI Types Construction Projects Building types, Public Works, highways, airports, mass grading. Section VII Codes and Specifications Standard codes and specifications: UBC, ASTM, CALTRANS, AASHTO, local city and county. Project specific plans (three main sections of interest) and specifications (Chapters 1 through 5) Part B - Technical and Specialized Technologies Section VIII Plan and Specification Reading The fundamentals of plan reading. Comprehension and enforcement of construction plans for typical construction in grading, concrete, masonry and steel will be emphasized. Section IX Geotechnical and Soil Conditions Identifies basic characteristics and types of soils, when a soil investigation is required, verifying site preparation and grading, and determining required separation for footings Section X Concrete Inspection The subjects addressed in this seminar are found in the construction requirements of Chapter 19 of the UBC and in various ACI and ASTM documents that regulate concrete materials and construction. Section XI Prestressed Concrete Inspection The subjects addressed in this seminar are found in the construction requirements of Chapter 19 of the UBC and in various ACI and ASTM documents that regulate concrete materials and construction. Section XII Masonry Inspection The materials presented in this seminar address the construction requirements of Chapter 21 of the UBC and the various ASTM documents that regulate masonry materials and construction. Section XIII Spray-applied Fireproofing Inspection This seminar addresses all of the major elements of the UBC, including Standard 7-6, regulating the application and design of spray-applied fire-proofing products. Section XIV Structural Steel Inspection This seminar covers the construction requirements of UBC Chapters 17 and 22, and the requirements in the codes of AISC, AWS, SJI, SDI, ASTM and other steel-related organizations. Section XV NICET Certification is awarded to individuals who have appropriate engineering technician work experience or appropriate engineering technologist work experience. |
