PLEASE DO NOT APPLY THROUGH HANDSHAKE BECAUSE APPLICATION WILL NOT BE COUNTED.  APPLY ON THE STATE WEBSITE ONLY! 

A Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect I is the entry-level of engineering or architectural work in the analysis and evaluation of construction, operational or industrial projects and processes in pollution control, waste remediation, resource conservation, environmental protection or public health and safety to ensure regulatory compliance with engineering or architectural standards, practices, principles and methods. Employees in this classification do not supervise other Regulatory and Compliance Engineers/Architects. Employees in this classification receive close supervision from the Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect Supervisor or other designated official. Employees may be required to work evenings and weekends and to attend public meetings and hearings. Employees may be subject to call-in for emergency situations, such as operational accidents or natural disasters. The work may require traveling throughout the State to construction sites, physical facilities, permit or industrial operational sites where conditions may be noisy, dirty and uncomfortable. 

The work may require use of safety equipment, such as protective clothing, eyewear, gloves, and respirators. Employees may be exposed to physical hazards, such as toxic materials and fumes, asbestos, lead particles and falling debris. Positions in this classification are evaluated by using the classification job evaluation methodology. The use of this method involves comparing the assigned duties and responsibilities of a position to the job criteria found in the Nature of Work and Examples of Work sections of the class specification. 

The Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect I, Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect II and Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect III are differentiated on the basis of the degree of supervisory control exercised by the supervisor over the employees. The Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect I performs duties under close supervision. The Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect II performs duties under close supervision at times and under general supervision at other times depending on the complexity of the specific duty being performed. The Regulatory and Compliance Engineer/Architect III performs the full range of duties and responsibilities under general supervision.
