The employee consults with the supervisor or senior engineer on any deviations, problems or unusual situations. Upon completion, work is reviewed for accuracy and adherence to standard practices, and to assure conformance with requirements. Guidelines are detailed and usually applicable to the assigned work. Limited judgment is required in selecting standard practices and data to be applied to specific problems where precedents are applicable. Situations where guidelines are inadequate are referred to the supervisor or higher graded engineer.
Work requires the independent application of a variety of established engineering practices.
Some problems necessitate minor adaptation of standard techniques. Work efforts have an impact on the accuracy and reliability, as well as the timeliness of the test projects for which the higher engineers are responsible. This position is non-exempt from coverage under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
