THE JOBS/ IDEAL CANDIDATES
The Assistant Engineer and the Junior Engineer will work under the guidance of the Senior Civil Engineer, within the Department of Public Works (DPW), on a wide variety of civil engineering projects that can have budgets in the hundreds of thousands. These projects include everything from the improvement of existing municipal buildings to stormwater drain updates to repaving surfaces around the City. While both levels have many overlapping job duties, the Assistant Engineer will perform them as a mid-level engineer with more independence and room for judgment, and the Junior Engineer will perform them at an entry engineer level with closer support and oversight. Both levels of engineers will get to work closely with other DPW staff, community members, and contractors. The Assistant Engineer may be put on some design work, while the Junior Engineer will focus more on supporting projects and growing their skillset.
 
The ideal candidates for both roles will be collaborative in nature, with the Assistant Engineer potentially using their leadership ability to oversee the work of contractors and provide technical support. These engineers will also use their interpersonal and communication skills to present their ideas to a diverse audience, including those who may initially be hesitant to listen. This provides a valuable opportunity to hone your presentation skills and find creative ways to engage with your audience, ultimately leading to more successful projects and solutions. Successful candidates will be eager to learn and apply engineering standards and regulations and make thoughtful recommendations on civil engineering projects. Other desirable skills include attentiveness to detail, creative problem solving, and consensus building. In addition, an ability to develop accurate reports, persuasive presentations, and clear written correspondence will position selected candidates to excel.
