GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CLASS



The FACILITIES ENGINEER 2 applies engineering principles and methods to independently
design a variety of mechanical, electrical, civil, or other specialized engineering projects, insuring that completed
projects satisfy client requirements, comply with uniform building and engineering codes, and meet budget limits.
Projects generally involve a single facility. The Facilities Engineer 2 may also monitor and collect data for routine
projects involving multiple facilities or be responsible for developing, monitoring and implementing maintenance
and repair programs for multiple facilities.


DISTINGUISHING FEATURES


This is the second level of a three-level series. Greater independence in applying
engineering principles and designing projects requiring a higher degree of specialized knowledge and experience
and the less guidance and supervision distinguishes the Facilities Engineer 2 from the lower level.

At the higher level, employees apply advanced methods and procedures to design and
develop unusually complex projects or system-wide projects involving multiple facilities and an in-depth knowledge
of specialized engineering discipline. 

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES


The duties listed below are not inclusive but characteristic of the type and level
of work associated with this class. Individual positions may perform all or some combination of the duties listed
below as well as other related duties.

1. Program Administration. 
Develops, monitors, and implements a maintenance and repair program for facilities
(e.g., roof maintenance and replacement program, building structural systems maintenance and replacement program).
Maintains records and prepares reports of program status. Prioritize project's repair schedules. Conducts complete
engineering studies as requested by supervisor.

2. Project Design.  Receives new construction, modification, and alteration project assignments from
supervisor. Visits the project site to determine client needs, gather measurements and collect other field data.
Analyzes data. Reviews reference materials, manuals, building codes, and vendor specifications. 
Applies engineering principles, methods, and mathematical calculations to design
projects, specify equipment and materials to be used and calculate costs. Using conventional or computer-aided
design drafting (CADD) systems, prepares final drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. Oversees and instructs
designers, drafters, and other staff working on the project. Writes reports outlining project goals and cost estimates.
Submits design package to supervisor for review and approval. Presents design package to client and answers questions
concerning project.

3. Project Implementation.  Establishes a materials list and orders equipment in conjunction with appropriate
departments. Talks with shop managers or contractor to answer questions concerning project design during implementation.
Inspects finished project for compliance with specifications and design.

4. Miscellaneous.  Investigates facility problems reported by users. Analyzes problems, prepares reports
and cost estimates and recommends solution. Notifies appropriate personnel to correct problem. Consults with physical
plant personnel as requested on design questions or problems involving engineering principles. 

RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS

The Facilities Engineer 2 has regular contact, in person and by telephone, with
managers, purchasing agents, contractors, and material controllers to exchange information to ensure timely and
accurate project completion and with clients or client representatives as needed during project design and implement
to keep them informed on the project's status. 

SUPERVISION RECEIVED

The Facilities Engineer 2 works under general supervision of a supervisory engineer
or administrative supervisor who assigns and reviews the work for compliance with engineering principles and accuracy.
Engineering manuals, building codes, and administrative policies and procedures are used to design and implement
projects. 

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Facilities Engineer 2 must be willing to occasionally bend, stoop, and climb
ladders to inspect projects and work sites and to occasionally travel throughout the State.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • Two years of engineering experience and
    a Bachelor's degree in either Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
    Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management Engineering, or Energy
    Management Engineering.
