JOB SUMMARY

This job is located in Engineering Division of the Utilities Department within the City of Oklahoma City and is under the direction of an immediate supervisor. The primary purpose of this position is to analyze, evaluate, design, and execute engineering projects. The knowledge and skills required to efficiently and effectively apply engineering principles and practices to public-works projects must be acquired prior to assuming the position. Civil Engineer II is a fully functional professional engineering classification responsible for developing design specifications and establishing project requirements for projects that are moderate in scope. Essential job functions include: developing engineering design specifications for proposed projects or systems modifications; providing functional supervision to lower-level professional and technical staff; reviewing construction plans to ensure compliance with City codes, ordinances, standards, and overall project feasibility; and coordinating the proper implementation of plans in actual construction. The work involves administrative processing of detailed information, including contracts, and entails appraising property values and determining specific requirements (i.e., sanitary sewer, easement, etc.) for the completion of engineering projects. This classification may also provide project-based functional supervision to entry-level Civil Engineers and other engineering-support staff. The employee often serves as an information source for City employees at all levels and the public and is frequently required to render technical advice and opinions with regard to specific projects. Supervision is received from section/division head-level Civil Engineers.
