Since 1946, we've relied on our talented and dedicated team members to provide reliable products with personalized service.

We're hiring a Technical Resource Engineer to join County Materials in Astatula, FL.

* Support claims, field issues, and installation disputes by gathering technical facts, documenting conditions, and recommending remediation, coordinating with Engineering, Quality, and Risk as required.


* Review post-installation CCTV and inspection video for pipe, box, and precast structures; interpret findings against ASTM, AASHTO, and owner-agency accept...
