Distinguishing Characteristics:

This class is distinguished by its responsibility for a wide variety of complex engineering programs or projects and represents supervisory and administrative responsibility in planning, directing, advising on and coordinating extensive engineering activities. An engineer at this level works under very general administrative direction, and assignments are typically received in terms of broad, general objectives; and the incumbent is responsible for determining work methods, procedures, priorities and the assignment of personnel through intermediate supervisors to accomplish the work effectively. Review by superiors is based on conformity with policy rather than technical adequacy.
