Nature of work: The main responsibility of the Structures Management Inventory Manager and Compliance Engineer (SMIMCE) is to ensure compliance with all federal and state requirements. This involves close coordination with the FHWA Maryland Division Bridge Engineer. The work includes responding to FHWA requests for information, particularly those related to the National Bridge Inspection Program (NBIP) bridge inspection metrics and compliance with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) and the Specifications for the National Bridge Inventory (SNBI). Updates to these regulations often require revisions to OOS Guidelines and Procedure Memorandums (GPMs) to align with new requirements.

The SMIMCE also participates in annual field visits with FHWA as part of their compliance reviews and serves as the point of contact for NBI-related items included in the FHWA/SHA stewardship and oversight agreements. This role includes providing statewide information-not just for SHA-on a variety of topics, including responding to National Transportation Safety Board reports, use of right-of-way under bridges, agreements on border bridges, and coordination with railroads. SMIMCE also administers and maintains the Structure Asset Management Bridge Management System (SAM-BMS), which houses the SI&A database and operates on the Bentley AssetWise web-based software platform. As system administrator, the SMIMCE answers questions, reviews suggestions for improvements, develops and modifies forms and output reports, and coordinates technical issues raised by the multiple owners using the system.
