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

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.
