DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Assistant Technician – This is the entry level class in the Technician series providing technical, paraprofessional Community Development support. Employees at this level are not expected to function with the same amount of program knowledge or skill level as employees allocated to the Associate Technician level and exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Advancement to the Associate Technician level is based on demonstrated proficiency in performing the assigned functions and is at the discretion of higher level supervisory or management staff.
Associate Technician – This is the full journey level class in the Technician series. Employees within this class are distinguished from the Assistant Technician by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Positions in this class series are flexibly staffed and are generally filled by advancement from the “Assistant” level, or when filled from the outside, require prior experience. Advancement to the “Associate” level is based on management judgment and/or certification or testing that validates the performance of the full range of job duties.
