PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT The mission of the Public Works Department is to
provide quality public infrastructure at the lowest life cycle cost. The
department is responsible for water treatment and distribution, parks,
storm drainage, transportation, facilities and airport maintenance, and
capital improvements. An independent sanitary authority provides
wastewater services. With an annual budget of approximately \$26 million
and 59 full-time employees, the Public Works Department is responsible
for approximately 112 miles of streets, including street lighting,
traffic signals, sidewalks, and storm drainage; and a 12 MGD water
treatment facility, 191 miles of water lines, storage reservoirs,
pumping stations, and associated appurtenances. DEFINITION Under the
general supervision of the Department Head, the Civil Engineer performs
engineering work in the delivery of public works projects; assists in
infrastructure master planning; acts as project manager of assigned
projects; provides direction and supervision to technical staff; and
provides highly complex technical assistance to the Division Head or
Director. Civil Engineer I (CE1): This is the entry and training level
class in the professional engineering series; incumbents in this class
are considered to be on a continuing training status and work towards
registration as a professional engineer. Once assigned responsibilities
and knowledge increases with experience, and the incumbent obtains the
professional civil engineering registration, a CE1 usually flexes to a
CE2. Civil Engineer II (CE2): This is a professional engineering
position, which requires registration as a civil engineer. Employees in
this class are distinguished from the Engineering Technicians by a
higher-level complexity of assignments, the responsibility to provide
professional direction and supervision to other technical staff, and the
greater independence with which a CE2 is expected to operate. The CE2 is
expected to complete complex engineering assignments requiring the use
of judgment and initiative developing solutions to problems,
interpreting general policies, determining work assignments, and to
function as engineer of record for contract documents on public
improvement projects. The CE2 is expected to act independently with
occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise,
and to be fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the
work unit. The complete job description is available at
