Department: Finance Department
DEFINITION

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives immediate (Accounting Assistant I) or general (Accounting Assistant II) supervision from the Finance Manager. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Accounting Assistant I: This is the entry-level classification in the Accounting Assistant series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform clerical accounting and customer service duties in support of financial operations. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Accounting Assistant II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually 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.
Accounting Assistant II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Accounting Assistant series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Accounting Assistant I level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative.
Positions 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 the Accounting Assistant class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Accounting Assistant II level are normally filled by advancement from the Accounting Assistant I level; progression to the Accounting Assistant II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Accounting Assistant II level.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives immediate (Engineering Technician I) or general (Engineering Technician II) supervision from assigned supervisory or management staff. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Engineering Technician I: This is the entry-level classification in the Engineering Technician series.
Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform specialized paraprofessional engineering work and related office duties. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Engineering Technician II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually 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.
Engineering Technician II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Engineering Technician series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Engineering Technician I level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions 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 the Engineering Technician class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Engineering Technician II level are normally filled by advancement from the Engineering Technician I level; progression to the Engineering Technician II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Engineering Technician II level.

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.
IT Technician II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the IT Technician series.

Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine park maintenance duties.

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.

Positions 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 the Parks Maintenance Worker class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Parks Maintenance Worker II level are normally filled by advancement from the Parks Maintenance Worker I level; progression to the Parks Maintenance Worker II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Parks Maintenance Worker II level.
