The Engineer II classification is part of a classification series comprised of four levels. Positions assigned to the Engineer II differ from Engineer I in that the Engineer II is typically assigned facilities of larger square footage (e.g. 70,001 180,000 sq. ft.) and typically require a larger number of staff to maintain the additional square footage.
