Under general supervision (Engineer I) to direction (Engineer II), performs professional civil or electrical engineering work related to the design and construction of District infrastructure and facilities; prepares, and reviews designs, plans, and specifications for District projects; serves in a project lead or manager capacity on assigned projects to ensure compliance with District contracted services, specifications and quality; coordinates projects with contractors, consultants, and other stakeholders;

and performs related work as required.

Engineer I: This is the entry-level classification in the Engineer series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine engineering duties. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Engineer II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.

Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Engineer II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Engineer. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Engineer I level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

Positions in the Engineer class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Engineer II level are normally filled by advancement from the Engineer I level; progression to the Engineer II level is dependent (i) management affirmation that the employee is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance and attendance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications, and District assessment testing requirements;

and (iv) management approval for progression to the Engineer II level.
