To perform advanced professional civil engineering work in the planning, design, management, administration, and delivery of public works and capital improvement projects; to serve as project manager for complex engineering projects; to oversee and direct the work of engineering consultants, contractors, and professional staff; to provide technical leadership and professional engineering expertise; to participate in capital improvement planning, budgeting, and grant‑funded projects;

and to perform related duties as assigned.

This is the advanced journey‑level classification in the professional engineering series. Positions assigned to this class perform the most complex and difficult engineering assignments requiring a high degree of independent judgment, professional expertise, and decision‑making authority. Incumbents independently manage major capital improvement projects from concept through completion, perform and oversee engineering design work, administer consultant and construction contracts, review and approve technical work products, and provide technical leadership to professional and technical staff.

This classification is distinguished from the Associate Engineer by the level of responsibility, independence of action, complexity of assignments, and professional licensure requirements. While the Associate Engineer performs professional engineering work under general supervision, the Senior Engineer exercises substantial independent judgment in the development of engineering solutions, serves as project manager for major and complex projects, reviews and approves engineering work products, oversees the work of consultants, mentors engineering staff, and provides technical leadership on engineering matters.
