CLASSIFICATIONS

Project Engineers at Viking have varying backgrounds, qualifications, and experience. In order to account for these differences, we have created a classification scale for this position ranging from I through III. Project Engineers are assigned a classification based on each individual’s command of the requirements listed above and the characteristics included under the Attached Classification Matrix. Each individual will be evaluated against the requirements to determine their level of achievement within their classification. Based on the results of that evaluation, a Professional Development Plan will be created to provide an individualized roadmap for each employee to achieve advancement within their current classification as well as the steps needed to achieve promotion to the next classification. 

Each classification is also associated with a “pay band” or a minimum and maximum rate of compensation associated with each classification. Each Project Engineer will be afforded a compensation rate that falls within the pay band assigned to the Project Engineer classification that they fall under in accordance with the results of their evaluation.

Individuals filling a Project Engineer position are able to develop within the position by gaining the skills, qualifications, and experience necessary to move through Project Engineer classifications I through III.
