Engineering Technician is distinguished from the Engineering Aide by the latter's performance of routine engineering-related work requiring no prior experience. Engineering Technician is flexibly staffed and may advance to the Senior Engineering Technician level without a competitive selection process, based on the department's staffing needs and the employee's individual capabilities to perform the full range of duties.
Senior Engineering Technician: is the journey-level of the series.
