An Engineer II may be assigned to plan, evaluate, direct, schedule, or manage the design and construction of complex capital improvement projects. Work duties are typically broad in scope, and may include: project management for all phases of capital projects including planning, feasibility evaluation, alternatives analyses, economic lifecycle cost analysis, designing, hydraulic modeling, preparing construction drawings, preparing technical specifications, cost estimating, budgeting, scheduling, and environmental permitting of water production, treatment and distribution system facilities; administering and managing various contractor and consultant contracts; coordinating engineering and construction activities with various District departments; and performing other related duties as assigned.

Desired expertise includes pipeline design and construction, preferably with a focus on potable water distribution and transmission pipeline systems; public contracting, and experience working with regulatory agencies and the public. Classifications Engineer I Engineer I is the entry-level class in the professional engineering series. Under close to general supervision, within a framework of established policies and procedures, incumbents learn and perform a variety of less complex, and more routine engineering and administrative tasks. As experience and proficiency are gained, assignments become more varied and complex and the level of independent action increases within established guidelines. Assignments are given in specific terms and are subject to frequent review while in progress and upon completion, except where tasks are well defined by established standards, policies and procedures. There is limited latitude for independent judgment. This classification is distinguished from the intermediate-level Engineer II, in that the latter is an experienced classification and performs a wider range of work assignments of greater complexity with less oversight required. Engineer II Engineer II is the experienced, intermediate-level class in the professional engineering series. Under direction, within a framework of established policies and procedures, incumbents perform a wide range of the more complex engineering assignments. In most cases, incumbents are responsible to manage multiple projects and/or administrative assignments concurrently. Assignments are given in general terms and are subject to periodic review while in progress and upon completion. Incumbents are not expected to perform with the same independence of direction and judgment on matters allocated to the journey level. There is considerable latitude for independent judgment and action in well-defined areas of work. Ideal Candidate Be a collaborative and supportive team player who can also effectively work independently; and Demonstrate initiative and be a self-starter, with strong project management skills and a proactive approach to addressing issues and finding creative solutions. Other Information This position will be filled at one level, not both. Pending the outcome of the recruitment, two (2) eligibility lists will be established at each level. ACWD participates in an Alternative Work Schedule, at the discretion of the supervisor and one training has been mastered.
