Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Advancement to the “II” level is based on demonstrated proficiency in performing the assigned functions and is at the discretion of higher level supervisory or management staff.

Engineering Technician II - This is the full journey level class in the paraprofessional Engineering Technician series performing the full range of technical engineering duties with only occasional instruction or assistance. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Engineering Technician level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, applying well developed program area knowledge, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions 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. Work is normally reviewed only on completion and for overall results. Positions in this class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the Engineering Technician II level are normally filled by advancement from the Engineering Technician I level.
