Under general supervision, a Civil Engineer performs professional civil engineering work including design layout and plan review. The Civil Engineer may supervise technical or paraprofessional Engineering staff. The Civil Engineer classification is the entry-level class within the professional engineering career ladder. Assignments provide opportunities for independent judgment in the design, management, and review of projects. This class performs related duties as required.

Work is performed under the direct supervision and guidance of a registered engineer who instructs the Civil Engineer in project management, engineering methodologies, and engineering principles. Work is reviewed through meetings, conferences, inspections, and results achieved.
