Civil Engineer

Description

The Engineer I performs engineering design review and analysis assignments normally involving a major project or several smaller less complex projects. These projects by nature of their complexity and difficulty require the fully competent application of conventional knowledge in a particular field of engineering or science. Through broader and more technically challenging work assignments the incumbent will develop a thorough understanding of policies methods and procedures.

What You Will Do:

• Under the supervision of an experienced engineer or engineering manager performs detailed engineering review of plans as assigned for compliance with applicable Rules Regulations and contract commitments.
• Performs work that involves conventional engineering practices but may include moderately complex problems such as the resolution of conflicting design requirements material standards or coordination of activities among other disciplines.
• Drafts technically accurate and timely reports and responses to client letters faxes and other forms of communication for review by an experienced engineer or engineering manager.
• Prepares accurate and timely weekly reports and billing on all work performed.
• Communicates the status of the current workload to all appropriate members of the team to ensure the needs of the clients will be met.
• May propose technical advice to field operations and other technical offices.
• May propose new approaches to problems encountered and make recommendations for changes in methods procedures or designs.
• May work directly with clients to identify and resolve problems in technical expertise.
• Works as a team member within the group. May work autonomously once trained with minimal supervision.
