Full Job Description

JOIN THE CITY OF ORANGE AS AN ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN I/II!

Engineering Technician I: $63,543 to $81,489 annually
Engineering Technician II: $70,205 to $90,030 annually

Under direct supervision (Engineering Technician I) or general supervision (Engineering Technician II), performs a variety of specialized paraprofessional engineering work and office duties in support of professional engineering staff and inspectors for the planning, design, and construction of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP); maintains plan files and engineering records; conducts field surveys, maintains the database, generates reports, and creates maps on the Geographic Information System (GIS); engineering permit processing; and performs related work as required.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Receives direct supervision (Engineering Technician I) or general supervision (Engineering Technician II) from management staff. Exercises no direct supervision of staff. May exercise technical and functional direction over and provide training to lower-level staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Engineering Technician I: This is the entry-level class in the paraprofessional Engineering Technician series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents with basic technical engineering experience perform work such as maintaining engineering records, performing basic engineering calculations, performing field observations and surveys, researching engineering topics, and updating maps and drawings, in addition to performing office and field work related to assigned engineering projects and programs. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the 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. Since this class is often used as a training class, employees may have only limited or no directly related work experience.

Engineering Technician II: This is the full journey-level class in the paraprofessional Engineering Technician series. Incumbents perform the full range of technical work in all of the following areas: field observations and surveys, researching engineering topics, and updating maps and drawings, in addition to performing office and field work related to assigned engineering projects and programs. Positions at this level are distinguished from the 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. This class is distinguished from the professional engineering series in that the latter is a professional level requiring completion of a four-year degree.

Positions in the Engineering Technician class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II level are normally filled by advancement from the I level requiring two (2) additional years of experience and after gaining the knowledge, skill, experience, licenses, and certifications which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class. When filled from the outside, the employee is required to have three (3) years of prior related experience that allows the employee to meet the qualification standards for the II level.
