Engineer II

Performs engineering design review and analysis assignments normally involving a major project or several smaller less complex projects. These projects by nature of their complexity and difficulty require the fully competent application of conventional knowledge in a particular field of engineering or science. Through broader and more technically challenging work assignments, incumbent will develop a thorough understanding of policies, methods and procedures.

What You Will Do:

• Under the supervision of an experienced engineer or engineering manager, performs detailed engineering review of plans as assigned for compliance with applicable Rules, Regulations and contract commitments.
• Performs work which involves conventional engineering practices but may include moderately complex problems such as the resolution of conflicting design requirements, material standards or coordination of activities among other disciplines.
• Drafts technically accurate and timely reports, and responses to client letters, faxes and other forms of communication for review by an experienced engineer or engineering manager.
• Prepare accurate and timely weekly reports and billing on all work performed.
• Communicate the status of the current workload to all appropriate members of the team to ensure the needs of the clients will be met.
• May propose technical advice to field operations and other technical offices.
• May propose new approaches to problems encountered and make recommendations for changes in methods, procedures or designs.
• May work directly with clients to identify and resolve problems in the area of technical expertise.
• Works as a team member within the group. May work autonomously, once trained, with minimal supervision.
• Implements and maintains ABS Quality System requirements relative to responsibilities after undergoing ABS Quality System training.
