Civil Engineer ($79,201.82 - $118,687.71)
Under general supervision, a Civil Engineer performs professional civil engineering work including design layout and plan review. In addition, the Civil Engineer may supervise the work performed by technical or paraprofessional Engineering staff. The Civil Engineer classification is the entry-level class within the professional engineering career ladder. Assignments in Engineering and Water Resources provide opportunity for the application of independent judgment and initiative in the design, management, and review of projects. This class performs related duties as required.

Work is performed under the direct supervision and guidance of a registered engineer, who instructs the Civil Engineer in practices of project management, engineering methodologies, and engineering principles. Work is reviewed through meetings, conferences, inspections, and results achieved. The Civil Engineer class differs from the Senior Civil Engineer class by the latter having registration in the state of Arizona as a Civil Engineer and performing more difficult and varied professional engineering work assignments with minimal direct supervision. Some employees in this class may progress by noncompetitive promotion to Senior Civil Engineer upon meeting the specific criteria-based promotion requirements of performance and registration as a Professional (Civil) Engineer in the state of Arizona. This class is FLSA exempt-professional.

In addition, a Senior Civil Engineer directs and reviews the work performed by lower-level professional and paraprofessional engineers, technicians, inspectors, surveyors, etc. Assignments are broad in scope and require the use of independent judgment and initiative in making technical decisions of considerable difficulty.

Some employees may progress to this class by noncompetitive promotion upon meeting the specific criteria-based promotion requirements of performance and registration as a Professional (Civil) Engineer in the state of Arizona.
