Engineer

Your role

• Designs and develops plans and drawings, which may include the development of preliminary layout and/or final drawings.

• Organizes and conducts engineering investigations and planning work which have a well-defined scope. Outlines and prepares relatively straightforward reports of sections of more complex reports, working under the periodic review of a more experienced professional.

• Provides engineering services during construction activities by reviewing shop drawings for conformance with specifications; prepares records and progress reports defining construction progress; observes construction procedures under the guidance of a more experienced professional and evaluates the results from quality control testing.

• Researches feasibility of alternative design approaches, site conditions, and regulatory agency specifications.

• Contributes to the development of specifications and permit applications and writes miscellaneous reports.

• Prepares preliminary man-hour, cost and material quantity estimates.

• Participates in quality control checks, maintaining quality standards in all work produced, checking computations, and/or reviewing designs and drawings performed by others.

• Coordinates with other disciplines as required.

• Performs field observations of construction where appropriate.

• Performs such other duties as the supervisor may from time to time deem necessary.

• Performs work which involves conventional types of plans, investigations, surveys, structures or equipment, to carry out diversified engineering projects or phases of a single project with relatively few complex features and requiring the use of analysis, interpretation, and deductive reasoning.

• Exercises independent judgment on regular assignments.

• Receives instructions on specific assignment objectives, complex features and possible solutions.

• Work is reviewed for application of sound professional judgment and assistance is furnished on unusual problems.

• May coordinate with and/or guide the work of junior professionals, technicians, and others who assist in specific assignments.

• Interfaces with senior technical professionals and technical managers.

• Limited external contacts may include state regulatory agency and utility personnel, subconsultants, and clients to discuss requirements.

• Under supervision, applies technical professional proficiency to the investigation of engineering problems, the coordination of project activities, and the preparation of preliminary plans and documents.

• On design assignments, progresses toward learning how to clearly convey the design intent through engineering drawings and specifications.

• On engineering and planning assignments, continues to develop a knowledge of the fundamentals of engineering processes and to apply them successfully to operating systems.

• On construction assignments, continues to develop an understanding of construction methods and the translation of engineering plans and specifications into constructed product. Upholds engineering ethics and standards of conduct.

• Assignments have clear and specified objectives and require the investigation of a limited number of variables.
