Construction site management
Erosion control supervisor
Do you have what it takes to be an erosion control supervisor?
Erosion control supervisors on MnDOT projects must have a current Construction Site Management certification from the University of Minnesota’s Erosion and Stormwater Management Certification Program. A list of certified people can be found at the following website. Note that the list is updated once each summer, so people who have been certified recently may not appear on the list yet. In that case the person will have a certificate showing they have completed the Construction Site Management class.
For erosion control supervisors who are overseeing strictly utility work rather than all aspects of road or bridge construction, MnDOT also accepts the Construction Site Management certification offered by the Minnesota Utility Contractors Association (MUCA).
