JUNIOR ENGINEER (MECHANICAL)

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS: Under supervision, incumbents perform


entry-level mechanical engineering and complex technical work. Incumbents conduct
inspections, prepare simple designs, calculate data, prepare cost estimates, project
updates and daily work records. Incumbents may be assigned regularly to any type of
mechanical engineering work, i.e., buildings, roads, parks, sewers, structures, etc., for
regular assignment or training. The incumbent may work independently on less complex
and routine projects and under direct supervision on more difficult tasks. As the
incumbents skill and knowledge increases, less direction is received. Each level
engineer, in this title series, takes part in the production of details, plans, specifications,
etc. The difference between the Junior Engineer and Assistant Engineer is in the amount
of experience, judgment and independent action required. Advancement depends on the
attainment of higher level skills and on the regular assignment to jobs requiring those
skills. Supervision is not a responsibility; however guidance and direction may be given to
a small number of non-professional employees. Does related work as required.
