At DOTD, our mission is to empower communities and improve lives by delivering responsive, inclusive, and forward-thinking public services. We are proud to serve the people of Louisiana with integrity, innovation, and a deep commitment to equity.

About This Position:

The LA DOTD is responsible for conducting inventories and inspections of approximately 14,000 bridges throughout the state in accordance with the 23 USC, Subpart C, (The National Bridge Inspector Standards NBIS). Approximately 10,000 bridge inspections are performed each year in Louisiana. The field inspections are performed by 52 full time Bridge Inspectors assigned to the 9 LA DOTD Districts. The LA DOTD Headquarters Bridge Maintenance Section is responsible for establishing the implementing policies and procedures for the inventory and inspection of the bridges in Louisiana. The Federal Highway Administration oversees states are in compliance with 23 USC and if DOTD does not comply with these federal requirements, the DOTD will lose $100 million per year. Reviews in recent years have found Louisiana's quality control/quality assurance (QA/QC) efforts needing improvement. Legislation mandating Bridge Management Systems (23 USC Part 500) required that the LA DOTD completely revise its bridge inventory and inspection systems.

This position is responsible for operating and maintaining specialized under-bridge access equipment and personnel to adequately meet the demands required of the district bridge inspection activities, bridge maintenance, quality assurance inspection needs, and bridge load rating needs in order that the Department can maintain the required level of compliance to the NBIS.
