Distinguishing Characteristics:
 
This class differs from that of the Civil Engineer II in that the Civil Engineer III exercises a substantial degree of engineering judgment, and may assume responsibility for projects of well-defined, routine or uncomplicated nature in testing, designing, computation, or construction, or assists a registered civil engineer on the more complex projects; whereas, the Civil Engineer II assumes only limited responsibility but exercises some degree of judgment based on experience.
 
This class differs from that of Civil Engineer IV in that the Civil Engineer III may be responsible for projects of well-defined, routine or uncomplicated nature; whereas, the Civil Engineer IV is responsible for the development, analyses, responsibility for supervision or coordination is pronounced.The following are examples of duties and are not necessarily descriptive of any one position in this class. The omission of specific duties statements does not preclude management from assigning such duties if such duties are a logical assignment for the position.
