SERIES CONCEPT

Television Engineers conduct and coordinate the planning, installation, 
operation and maintenance of closed-circuit or broadcast television and 
related equipment and facilities; supervise, instruct and assign personnel in 
the operation and care of equipment; plan and advise on the engineering 
standards for new equipment; determine maintenance schedules; consult with 
equipment manufacturers; coordinate the services of commissioned engineers in 
the solution of problems arising during installation or major alterations to 
equipment; serve as technical specialists and advisors on design, operation 
and maintenance of television equipment; and perform other related duties as 
required.

                           CLASS CONCEPTS

Senior Television Engineer

Under general direction, incumbents supervise and perform highly specialized 
engineering for television facilities and systems design.

Incumbents at this level typically design and develop new television systems 
and equipment; supervise Television Engineers; recommend the purchase and 
supervise the installation of major television equipment; and administer the 
television engineering budget for a major organizational unit.

This level is distinguished from the Television Engineer class by the 
responsibility for highly specialized design of equipment systems and 
facilities.

Under direction, incumbents perform all or many of the duties as outlined in 
the series concept. This is the full professional level at which incumbents 
operate independently in television engineering activities.

Incumbents at this level typically plan the installation of television 
equipment; serve as design engineers for projects of limited scope; supervise 
University technical staff; determine the number and type of replacement parts 
for stock; recommend the purchase of equipment; set up maintenance schedules; 
and train University staff in the use of television equipment.
