DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Assistant Engineer - This is the entry level in the professional engineering series. This class is distinguished from the Junior Engineer by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within this series. Employees at this level are not expected to perform with the same level of independence of direction and judgment on matters allocated to the Associate Engineer. Incumbents have limited directly related professional engineering work experience. Employees work under general supervision while learning job tasks.
Associate Engineer – This is the journey level in the professional engineering series. This class is distinguished from the Assistant Engineer by the assignment of the full range of professional engineering duties.

Incumbents may exercise direct supervision of technical engineering staff.
