The proposed revisions to the Senior Utilities Engineer classification ensures that the job description accurately reflects current operational needs, improves clarity in reporting relationships, and aligns with industry best practices. Specifically, the Supervision Received and Exercised sections have been updated. Additionally, updates have been made to the job definition and essential duties to more accurately reflect the role’s involvement in planning, designing, and constructing complex Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) related to potable water, recycled water, sanitary sewer systems, stormwater management, and wastewater treatment systems. These revisions were developed in collaboration with subject matter experts from the Public Works & Utilities Department and the Human Resources Department.
