Original job description

Under general supervision, an incumbent in this class performs public health engineering work relating to wastewater disposal, sanitary sewage systems, individual water supplies, air pollution and solid and hazardous wastes to ensure compliance with Westchester County, New York State Departments of Health and Environmental Conservation regulations for the protection of the public and the environment. An incumbent applies engineering principles for the detection, evaluation, control and management of those factors in the environment which influence public health. The incumbent reviews and evaluates applications for proposed wastewater or water system projects and plans for subdivision of land parcels, inspects sites to verify compliance with related codes, investigates and monitors public health issues relating to land development programs, prepares written reports of investigative findings and consults with numerous professionals and regulatory agencies to coordinate project efforts. This is the full-performance level of the Engineering series where incumbents are expected to use independent judgment in performing work on projects of considerable size or on several smaller projects. This classification differs from the higher level Senior Engineer level in that incumbents in that title are responsible for a broader scope of work, directing and reviewing the work of lower-level engineering staff, and the requirement to possess a Professional Engineer’s license. While supervision is not a responsibility of this class, incumbents provide guidance to technical, maintenance and support staff as required. Does related work as required.

THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL SERVICE HAS DEVELOPED A HIRING PROGRAM THAT STREAMLINES THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS TO ALLOW AGENCIES TO HIRE DIVERSE, QUALIFIED PERMANENT EMPLOYEES QUICKLY AND WITHOUT EXAMINATIONS. EMPLOYEES HIRED UNDER THE HELP PROGRAM WILL BE APPOINTED ON A PERMANENT BASIS. THE HIRING FOR EMERGENCY LIMITED PLACEMENT (HELP) PROGRAM TEMPORARILY REMOVES THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAM REQUIREMENT FOR THIS TITLE.
