DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:

The Project Manager I is an entry level class. Incumbents learn and perform a variety of assignments (non-complex or non-sensitive) to assist them in independently managing the full range of a project with some guidance and direction. Assignments are typically broad in scope, requiring the exercise of professional judgment and initiative in achieving results while coordinating the work with other Agency departments and managing the work of external consultants, contractors, and entities. Incumbents may advance to the higher level after gaining experience and demonstrating proficiency that meet the qualifications for the higher-level class.

Project Manager II is the journey level class in this series. Incumbents independently manage the full range of a project, from routine to semi-complex, and are expected to effectively perform their duties with minimum guidance and direction. Assignments are typically broad in scope, requiring the exercise of professional independent judgment and initiative in achieving results while coordinating the work with other Agency departments and managing the work of external consultants, contractors, and entities. Incumbents perform diverse and specialized work involving significant accountability, decision-making responsibility, and fiscal responsibility.

Project Manager II is distinguished from Senior Project Manager in that an incumbent in the latter class has broader scope of responsibility and is assigned the more complex and higher value projects that require greater technical skill and aptitude.

Employees in this class typically report to a Senior Engineer or Senior Project Manager.
