The City of Belmont Public Works Department is recruiting for the position of Assistant Civil Engineer/Associate Civil Engineer.

Recruitment will close by Friday, March 20, 2020 @ 5 p.m. or upon receipt of the first 50 applications and supplemental questionnaires, whichever occurs first.

The Assistant Civil Engineer/Associate Civil Engineer performs a variety of complex engineering work for design, investigation, and management of public works projects and oversight of private development and permitted construction; to prepare a variety of engineering documents, drawings and specifications; to act as project manager in assigned capital projects; and to perform a variety of professional public works and engineering tasks relative to assigned area of responsibility.  There are two vacancies – one Assistant (any area) and one Associate (Land Development experience).

Assistant Civil Engineer: This is the entry-level class in the Civil Engineer series. This class is distinguished from the Associate Civil Engineer by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within the Civil Engineer series. Incumbents perform less complex office and field engineering work and assignments are generally routine or closely related within a framework of established procedures. Since this class is typically used as a training class, employees may have applicable education but only limited related work experience. The Assistant Civil Engineer position does not require California registration as a civil engineer or professional engineer.

Associate Civil Engineer: This is the full journey level class within the professional Civil Engineer series. Employees within this class are distinguished from the Assistant Civil Engineer by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, including by the greater complexity of the assignments received and by the greater independence with which an incumbent is expected to operate. Incumbents are expected to complete complex engineering assignments requiring the use of judgment and initiative in developing solutions to problems, interpreting general policies, and determining work assignments. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the Assistant Civil Engineer level, or when filled from the outside, have prior advanced technical or professional engineering work experience. This class is distinguished from the Senior Civil Engineer in that the latter performs the most difficult and responsible duties assigned to the classification including management of the most complex engineering projects or exercising lead direction over lower level staff.

The Assistant Engineer receives general supervision from higher level professional engineers and may exercise technical or functional supervision over technical engineering staff.  The Associate Engineer receives direction from higher level engineering staff and may exercise technical supervision over lower level staff within the work unit and exercises technical or functional supervision over technical engineering staff.
