The District Bridge Engineer (BE) is directly responsible for bridge inspection operations within the District. A BE implements and monitors the BIP in a District under the general guidance of the Bridge Division Program Manager. A BE also manages tasks centered around the planning, design, and maintenance of bridges. The BE may function as the District’s inspecting TL and oversees the work of a District Bridge Inspection Coordinator.

Bridge Inspection Coordinators (BIC) and Bridge Section Staff are personnel located in the District. These personnel manage the day-to-day operation of District inspection activities and perform the same general tasks as TLs. If a BIC is not a qualified TL, these personnel should refrain from performing NBIS bridge inspections on their own and should have a qualified TL oversee the inspection work they perform.

Same qualifications and responsibilities as those for a TL in the Bridge Division – See section Bridge Division Staff, Team Leader.
