Original Entrance - Examination
Absolute Requirement: Registration as a Professional Engineer in the State of Illinois. Anticipation of Eligibility: An applicant who can demonstrate the likelihood of being registered as a Professional Engineer by August 15, 2026 may be admitted to the examination process. Candidates so admitted, who are successful in the examination process, may not be appointed until evidence is provided that registration was obtained by August 15, 2026. Obtaining registration is interpreted to mean that the candidate passed a Professional Engineer test that was given prior to August 15, 2026, and that no further requirements must be met by the candidate in order for the license to be issued.
Minimum Requirements: Graduation from a four-year accredited college or university majoring in electrical engineering and four years of full-time, post-degree electrical engineering experience related to the District's activities. Substitution: Full-time graduate study in electrical engineering may be substituted for the required experience on a year-for-year basis to a maximum of two years.
Examination: The examination will consist of a Training and Experience evaluation (T&E) weighted 100%. The minimum passing score on the T&E evaluation will be 70% unless determined otherwise by the Director of Human Resources. Candidates must achieve a passing score to have their names placed on the eligible list.
The T&E evaluation will assess candidates' knowledge, skill and ability in areas such as engineering principles and practices; project management; contract administration and budgeting; problem solving; supervision; and written communication.
All applicants will be advised by email if they have been admitted to the examination process. Applicants who do not receive a response to their application by Friday, September 5, 2025 should contact the Employee Selection Office at (312) 751-5100.
Examination Process: Each candidate whose application is approved, will have their T&E responses (supplemental questionnaire portion of the application) rated by a qualified professional. This T&E will serve as the examination for this recruitment. Failure to complete the Supplemental Questionnaire portion of the application will result in disqualification of the applicant.
Original Entrance - Appointments
Appointments will be made from an eligible list with three categories: A (Exceptionally Well Qualified), B (Well Qualified) and C (Qualified). Candidates in the highest category will be given first consideration for appointment. This examination is also being given on a Promotional basis. In instances where both Original Entrance and Promotional eligible lists result from an examination process, it is the District's practice to appoint only from the Promotional eligible list until all names from that list have been considered. The eligible list has a duration of three years. Appointment is subject to successfully passing a physical examination, a drug test and a criminal history background investigation.
