DEFINITION
DISTINGUISING CHARACTERICS
Junior Engineer - This is the trainee level in the professional engineering series. Positions in this class possess the applicable educational background required of classes in the professional engineering series, yet typically lack practical professional engineering experience. Incumbents learn and perform less complex office and field engineering work in preparation for advancement to the Assistant Engineer level. Assignments are generally limited in scope and are performed within a procedural framework established by higher level staff. Employees work under immediate supervision while learning job tasks.
Assistant Engineer – This is the entry level in the professional engineering series. This class is distinguished from the Junior Engineer by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within this class. Employees at this level are not expected to perform with the same level of independence of direction and judgment on matters allocated to the Associate Engineer. Since this class is typically used as a training class, employees have only limited professional engineering work experience. Employees work under general supervision while learning job tasks.
Associate Engineer (PE) - This is the journey level class within the professional engineering series. This class is distinguished from the Assistant Engineer by assignment of the full range of professional engineering duties. Employees 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 within the work unit. Incumbents may exercise direct supervision over technical engineering staff.
