LEVEL DESCRIPTORS
The Engineer Intern job family has five levels that are distinguished based on the complexity of the engineering assignment and the level of expertise required by a specific position.
Level I: This is the Engineer-in-Training level where incumbents will initially perform a variety of routine engineering tasks in a training status under close supervision. Incumbents will perform basic engineering tasks such as the review of less complex plans, performance of basic engineering calculations, the writing of permits, the performance of computer modeling, and the inspection of parts of an engineering project.
Level II: Incumbents in this level are engineering interns who perform technical engineering duties in support of a program or project. This level is generally limited to providing advice and guidance as opposed to directing engineering activities. The complexity of projects assigned, responsibility assumed and degree of supervision necessary will change as the individual advances through this level.
Level III: Incumbents in this level are experienced engineering interns who perform advanced technical engineering duties in support of a program or project. This level provides advice and guidance as opposed to directing engineering activities. The complexity of projects assigned, responsibility assumed and degree of supervision necessary will change as the individual advances through this level.
Level IV: This is the career level for experienced engineering interns who perform advanced technical engineering duties in support of a program or project. This level provides advice and guidance as opposed to directing engineering activities.
Level V: This is the leadership level where incumbents are assigned responsibility for performing, directing and supervising the work activities of an engineering section, program or project including direct supervision of other professionals. They will plan and organize the work to be done, assign projects to subordinate engineers and review and evaluate projects and programs to ensure compliance with established standards.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Level I: Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of a bachelor’s degree in engineering from a college or university which is recognized by the Oklahoma State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, in accordance with the standards of the Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology or a bachelor’s degree in construction management with (heavy) or civil option.
Level II:
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as an Engineer Intern.
Level III:
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as an Engineer Intern and one year experience in the practice of engineering; or an equivalent combination of education and experience, substituting the completion of a master’s degree in engineering for the required one year of experience in the practice of engineering.
Level IV:
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as an Engineer Intern and two years of experience in the practice of engineering; or an equivalent combination of education and experience, substituting a master’s degree in engineering for one year of experience in the practice of engineering.
Level V:
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as an Engineer Intern and three years of experience in the practice of engineering; or an equivalent combination of education and experience, substituting the completion of a master’s degree in engineering for one year of the required experience in the practice of engineering.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENT
Persons with out of state registration as an Engineer Intern must transfer their registration State of Oklahoma through the Oklahoma State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors no later than six months from the date of appointment. Persons will not be granted permanent classified status without a valid Oklahoma registration as an Engineer Intern.
