As incumbents gain experience, they will be expected to work more independently on assignments that are more complex. Promotion to Assistant Engineer II is based upon demonstrated ability and satisfaction of the experience requirement. Assistant Engineer II General supervision is provided by a higher-level professional engineer or a division head level position; responsibilities may include direct or indirect supervision of lower level professional, technical, and clerical personnel. This is the journey-level class in the professional engineering series not requiring registration; may serve as project engineer on a limited basis. The Assistant Engineer II is distinguished from the Associate Civil Engineer in that the latter serves as project leader on assignments requiring considerable professional knowledge of engineering principles and technical engineering analysis, provides direction to engineering and technical personnel, and requires registration as a Civil Engineer. As assigned responsibilities and breadth of knowledge increase with experience and as registration is achieved, the Assistant Engineer II may be eligible for the next higher class of Associate Civil Engineer. Duties Participate in the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of streets, wastewater collection, storm drains, potable water, recycled water systems, and related public works projects. Review development applications including tentative and final maps, improvement plans and applicable documents, and ensure conformance to city standards. Respond to inquiries and complaints from citizens, developers, engineers, contractors, other city departments, utility agencies, and various other sources. Make presentations to departments, commissions, committees, and boards as required or assigned. Coordinate review, approval, and construction of projects with staff, other departments, applicable outside agencies and citizens. Maintain records, maps, plans, and files; research and prepare clear and concise technical reports as assigned. Make field inspections of engineering projects and perform engineering analysis and calculations as assigned. Learn to perform the full range of professional engineering tasks within area of assignment. Perform related duties as assigned.

Incumbents perform field and office assignments of a less complex nature in connection with the planning, design, construction and maintenance of a wide variety of civil engineering projects. Incumbents are expected to demonstrate increased proficiency during the training period, and, upon completion thereof, promote to the Assistant Engineer - Civil (Level II). Incumbents are gradually given more difficult and responsible assignments and may assist experienced engineers in charge of more difficult civil engineering projects. Assistant Engineer - Civil (Level II) is the journey level class in the professional civil engineering series. Under general supervision, incumbents are responsible for routine office or field projects of average difficulty and are expected to direct them to completion. Incumbents assigned to Level II generally have, in addition to meeting the minimum qualifications for the class, at least one year of paraprofessional engineering experience equivalent to one of the following classes in Sacramento County service: an Assistant Engineer - Civil (Level I), Senior Engineering Technician or higher. A Master's Degree in Civil Engineering may be substituted for the experience. An Assistant Engineer - Civil (Level II) may serve as a resident engineer on smaller, less complex construction projects. Civil engineering work of this type is generally supervised and reviewed by positions in the next higher class, Associate Civil Engineer, which is assigned the function of squad or project leader. Assistant Engineers - Civil (Level II) have no supervisory responsibility, but may provide technical direction to subordinate engineering and paraprofessional engineering personnel engaged in design and construction of such work. The duties, knowledge and abilities of the Level I and the Level II are the same except the work is originally done under close supervision; as experience is gained, greater independence of action is increased and less detailed supervision is received until the incumbent is functioning at the first working level.
