City of Sacramento, CA
Sacramento, California, United States
THE POSITION THIS POSITION IS FOR THE ASSOCIATE CIVIL ENGINEER. With supervisor approval, incumbents may be eligible for intermittent remote work; however, they must physically reside within the State of California with the ability to report to Sacramento-based physical worksites daily if required. The Department of Utilities (DOU) Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Civil Engineer oversees the construction stormwater program and supports DOU with meeting permit requirements for stormwater and wastewater. This position works with a Construction Inspector to ensure construction sites maintain compliance with the City of Sacramento codes for stormwater pollution prevention best management practices. Duties include, but are not limited to, conducting investigations, reviewing plans, providing public education, maintaining records, and preparing regulatory reports. IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT The ideal candidate will have excellent customer service, be able to collaborate with team members and other City departments, and communicate clearly with the public. The ideal candidate will have critical thinking and conflict resolution skills to resolve engineering and compliance issues in the field. The ideal candidate has experience and/or education related to construction site management, regulatory compliance, stormwater pollution prevention, construction plan preparation, data management, or construction plan review. Certifications in the construction stormwater profession are preferred, such as Qualified SWPPP Developer/ Practitioner (QSD/P) or Certified Erosion, Sediment and Stormwater Inspector (CESSWI). ASSISTANT CIVIL ENGINEER / ASSOCIATE CIVIL ENGINEER To perform professional civil engineering work in the planning, design, technical investigation, and construction of projects in the areas of public works, transportation, hydraulics, and structural engineering. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS: Assistant Civil Engineer This is the journey level class in the professional civil engineering series not requiring registration. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the lower class of Junior Engineer. Incumbents of this class perform the moderately difficult professional engineering work in civil engineering. Assistant Civil Engineers are normally considered to be of a continuing training status and as assigned responsibilities and breadth of knowledge increase with experience, and registration is received, may reasonably expect their positions to be reassigned to the next higher class of Associate Civil Engineer. Associate Civil Engineer This is the full journey level class in the civil engineering series requiring registration. Positions in the class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the lower class of Assistant Civil Engineer, or, when filled from the outside, require prior advanced professional civil engineering work experience.
