Receives
training in the various phases of office,
plant, field
or laboratory engineering or geoscience work
as classroom instruction or as supervised "on-the-job" assignments,
often accompanied by a pre-assigned "A" or
higher level “buddy”. Tasks assigned and well
supervised include: preparation of simple plans,
designs, calculations, costs and bills of material
in accordance with established codes, standards,
drawings or other specifications. Under supervision,
may carry out routine technical surveys or
inspections and prepare reports. Recognizing
short duration of
Co-op/Intern Student
placements, assignments are usually non-complex
projects with deadlines that finish within
the Co-op/Intern term.

DUTIES
|
This is typically
the level of direct and sustained supervision
of other professional engineers / geoscientists
or the first level of full specialization. Requires
application of mature engineering / geoscience
knowledge in planning and conducting projects
having scope for independent accomplishment and
coordination of the difficult and responsible
assignments. Assigned problems make it necessary
to modify established guides, devise new approaches,
apply existing criteria in new manners, and draw
conclusions for comparative situations.

knowledge of more than one field of engineering
/ geoscience or performance by an engineering
/geoscience specialist in a particular field
of engineering / geoscience. Participates in
short and long range planning; makes independent
decisions on work methods and procedures within
an overall program. Originality and ingenuity
are required for devising practical and economical
solutions to problems. May supervise large groups
containing both professional and non-professional
staff; or may exercise authority over a small
group of highly qualified professional personnel
engaged in complex technical applications.
