The fundamental reason this classification
exists is to perform technical engineering work in the field and office. The essential functions are: monitors permanent storm water sites; monitors
ground water monitoring wells; monitors methane gas wells at the landfill; investigates
unlawful discharges to the storm water system; inspects construction site
erosion, sedimentation control measures and industrial facilities; serves as
environmental educational coordinator and prepares reports for ground water,
storm water, methane gas and Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). Positions
in this classification are normally filled by advancement from the lower
classification of Engineering Technician I, or when filled from the outside,
required prior para-professional engineering experience in environmental ground
water and storm water sampling.
Incumbents of this classification work within a framework of established
procedures and are expected to perform all the duties assigned to the position
with only occasional instructions or assistance. The Engineering Technician II is distinguished
from the Engineering Technician III by the latter’s increased complexity of
assignments, decision-making responsibility and level of supervision received
and exercised.
High school diploma or G.E.D
including or supplemented by successful completion of college level courses in
Math, Biology, Chemistry (Inorganic or Organic) and Computer Science and three
(3) years of experience in environmental ground water or storm water sampling.
