As a Resident Engineer, your position requires you to have a good understanding of project management, contract administration, financial and funding rules, risk management, and federal and state labor rules, in addition to your technical expertise. Frequent changes to state and federal requirements make it necessary for you to keep your knowledge and skills constantly updated. The Technology Transfer Program in conjunction with the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance provides the Resident Engineer's Academy to enable you to sharpen your work skills and become an effective and successful Resident Engineer.

The Resident Engineer's Academy provides 3-1/2 days of practical, hands-on training, which includes presentations by Caltrans program managers and subject matter experts, group discussion sessions, and ample time for questions and answers. Workshop sessions will provide a unique and instructive opportunity for you to interact with resident engineers from other agencies, Caltrans local assistance representatives, and experts, so be sure to bring your work challenges to the Academy for discussion.

Attendees will learn how to efficiently manage a project from beginning to completion in compliance with state regulations. Sessions covering labor and equal opportunity regulations and compliance, claims avoidance and resolution, and tort liability will address the legal aspect of the Resident Engineer's role.

Whether you're newly appointed, soon-to-be, or a seasoned resident engineer desiring refresher training, this course offers valuable training that should not be missed.
