Engineer II employees are responsible for performing and resolving technical and complex civil engineering tasks and problems within the framework of broad engineering and administrative guidelines.

The Engineer II position is the second step in a career progression that begins with Engineer I and ends with Engineer III. Engineer II employees perform tasks with limited supervision and require substantial use of independent judgment within the scope of advanced engineering assignments. Engineer I employees perform basic engineer work under the supervision of an administrative supervisor. Engineer III employees manage the more technical engineering projects and are Certified Professional Engineers.

Engineer III This is professional level engineering work for the Department of Community Development. Within general parameters established by management, the employees occupying positions of this class perform complex technical work in a specialized phase of engineering.

The Engineer III requires specialized knowledge in an area of engineering and requires the use of independent judgment to resolve complex or unique problems. To progress to the Engineer III level the employee must become a Certified Professional Engineer. This is the third step in a career progression that starts at the Engineer I level. Those at the Engineer I level perform routine civil engineering tasks and resolve problems by working within established guidelines whereas Engineer II employees resolve more technical and complex civil engineering tasks working within the framework of broad engineering guidelines.
