Title
Request to Modify Job Specification, Examination Weighting and Recruitment Type for Electric Utility Engineer
Report
BACKGROUND
The Electric Utility Department will soon conduct a recruitment for the position of Electric Utility Engineer. The job specification for Electric Utility Engineer was last revised in November 2006.
DISCUSSION
A job analysis was conducted to identify changes to the job specification. Several desirable qualifications were added such as Registration as an Electrical, Mechanical or Civil Engineer in the State of California as well as experience with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The typical tasks section was updated to better reflect the current position. The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities section was updated to reflect the skills needed for the new typical tasks.
The Electric Utility Department submitted a request to change the recruitment type from Open/Competitive to Open/Promotional since the new entry level classification of Assistant Electric Utility Engineer was approved and Electric Utility Engineer is now a promotional classification. The department also requests that the exam weighting change from Qualifying Supplemental/100% Oral to 100% Oral since the application packet and oral examination is sufficient to measure a candidate's qualifications.

The action being considered does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to revising the job specification, examination weighting and recruitment type other than staff time.
