This is beginning-level building engineering work in the planning and design of new construction, and remodeling/expansion of existing state facilities.
An employee in this class is responsible for assisting in the development of plans and specifications for new and existing construction projects. Work may involve supervision of construction foremen on projects, or supervision of draftsmen performing routine drafting of design details. The employee works under rather close supervision of a technical or administrative superior.
Applicants must meet one of the following eligibility requirements:
(The following minimum qualifications will determine merit system eligibility and may be used to evaluate applicants for Missouri Uniform Classification and Pay System positions not requiring selection from merit registers.)
A Bachelor's degree in civil, electrical, mechanical, structural engineering or engineering management having a specialty in one of these areas from a school with the curriculum approved by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. (Two years of civil, electrical, mechanical, or structural engineering experience is required of applicants with ABET accredited degrees in other fields of engineering.)
OR
Four years of technical experience in civil, electrical, mechanical or structural engineering work; and possession of an Engineer-In-Training certificate issued by a state board of registrars for professional engineers.
