DEFINITION Under direction, performs professional complex office and field traffic engineering and transportation planning work; provides project coordination and lead direction to project teams or units of professional and technical staff to formulate, organize, and implement traffic engineering and planning related functions; and performs related duties as assigned. SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED Receives direction from an assigned Sr. Traffic Engineer. Exercises no direct supervision over staff. May provide technical and functional direction and training to lower-level staff. CLASS CHARACTERISTICS Transportation Engineer : This is the fully qualified professional, unregistered level. Under direction, incumbents perform the full scope of general transportation and traffic engineering duties, which include transportation planning, travel demand modeling, and forecasting the effects of proposed projects on traffic and transportation. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the traffic engineer level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Incumbents are expected to work independently and exercise 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. Traffic Engineer : This is the fully qualified professional, registered level. Incumbents have the same duties and responsibilities as the Transportation Engineer, and are expected to advance to this level within one (1) year, upon receipt of a Traffic Engineer license issued by the State of California. This class is distinguished from the Sr. Traffic Engineer in that the latter has responsibility for organizing, assigning, supervising, and reviewing the work of traffic staff. Positions in the Transportation Engineer/Traffic Engineer class series are flexibly staffed. Movement from the Transportation Engineer level to the Traffic Engineer level is required and based solely upon receipt of the registered California Traffic Engineer license. Failure to obtain registration as a Traffic Engineer prior to the end of the probation period of the Transportation Engineer classification will result in immediate separation.
