Level II :                                        

This is the career level of professional engineers and represents the full performance level of the job family.  Incumbents perform engineering duties at all levels of complexity.

 

Level III:                                              

This is the specialist level where incumbents routinely serve as technical advisors to other professionals and the agency.  They work in a consultative role with knowledge in a specific area of engineering.  Duties may include supervising the work activities of an assigned program or project.

 

Examples of work performed may include but will not be limited to: (1) Development of design standards and/or Agency Policies, Rules and Regulations, (2) representation of the Agency on national and regional committees, (3) coordination of specialized agency programs, functions, and activities.

Level I:     
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as a professional engineer.

Level II:     
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as a professional engineer and a master’s degree in engineering or registration as a professional engineer and one year of professional engineering experience subsequent to registration.

Level III:     
Education and Experience requirements at this level consist of registration as a professional engineer, a master’s degree in engineering and three years of professional engineering experience subsequent to registration; or an equivalent combination of education and experience, substituting one year of professional engineering experience, subsequent to registration, for the required master’s degree.

Persons appointed to professional engineering positions must possess or obtain registration as a professional engineer with the Oklahoma State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors within six (6) months from the the date of appointment.
