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 that 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. Propose technical advice to field operations and other technical offices. Propose new approaches to problems encountered and make recommendations for changes in methods, procedures, or designs. Work directly with clients to identify and resolve problems in technical expertise. Communicates the status of the current workload to all appropriate members of the team to ensure the needs of the clients will be met. Works as a team member within the group.  May work autonomously, once trained, with minimal supervision. Prepares accurate and timely weekly reports and billing on all work performed. Implements and maintains ABS Quality System requirements relative to responsibilities after undergoing ABS Quality System training.
