The fundamental reason this classification
exists is to inspect construction projects involving city property using site
visits, rulers, tape measures, string line, various levels and a variety of
laboratory tests in order to ensure compliance with city specifications for
quality and safety of workmanship and materials. Supervision is received from
the Engineering Technician III. 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 construction.
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.
