This is beginning level electrical engineering work. Employees in this class perform assignments of limited but increasing scope and complexity which are intended to develop the knowledges and abilities of the engineer.

Work is performed under the supervision of a higher level engineer. Assignments require evaluative thinking and are carried out in accordance with standard engineering practices and general work instruction. Completed work is used as a basis by others to further engineering projects.

• Prepares sketches, drawings, designs, and plans and specifications of the less complex electrical components, power layouts, and lighting; makes cost estimates of the electrical phases of construction; determines circuit requirements; details schematic diagrams of electrical layouts.
• Conducts inspections and surveys regarding component parts or limited phases of construction projects.
• Attends training sessions; reads textbooks, manuals and previous records and reports of departmental divisions concerned.
• Prepares periodic reports of field conditions and work progress.
• Compiles a variety of technical data relative to the completion of assigned projects.
• May participate in projects involving the use of computer for engineering applications.
• Gains experience and proficiency toward the journeyman level.
• Performs related work as required.

KNOWLEDGE OF:

• the principles, practices and techniques of engineering as applied to electrical engineer- ing.
• engineering mathematics and mathematical tables used in engineering work.

ABILITY TO:

• make engineering computations.
• make sketches and engineering drawings.
• interpret and check design details, estimates, engineering plans and specifications for accuracy of engineering details.
• express ideas effectively, both orally and in writing.
• establish and maintain effective working relationships with associates, contractors and the general public.

• Completion of a bachelor's degree program at an accredited college or university with major course work in electrical engineering.

Or any equivalent combination of education and experience determined to be acceptable by the Personnel Department that has included completion of a bachelor's degree program in an acceptable area of engineering as an educational minimum.
