DEPARTMENT: Operations

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:
This is the first level of a three-level family. It is distinguished by the responsibility for less complex, semi-routine, well-defined trades work. Primarily requires on-the-job training, rather than specialized training or experience to perform duties successfully. Within the job family, however, there may be some overlap between the levels of work. Therefore, an incumbent at this level may be occasionally called upon to perform tasks associated with a higher level, such as when working independently or assisting a staff member. In addition, this level of the family has a strong learning component, in that incumbents at this level will frequently take on new tasks under close supervision or may receive guidance from a more senior staff person as a means of skill development.
