DEFINITION OF WORK
Summary
This is administrative work directing the acquisition, storage,
maintenance and repair of vehicles and equipment at a district or statewide service and
repair facility.
Work involves responsibility for purchasing equipment, supplies
and parts; assisting in preparing equipment budgets and specifications; and overseeing the
upkeeping of maintenance and inventory records.
Standard Classification Factors
Supervision Received - LEVEL C: "Under direction…"
Employees at this level usually receive a general outline of the work to be performed and
are generally free to develop their own sequences and methods within the scope of
established policies. New, unusual, or complex work situations are almost always referred
to a superior for advice. Work is periodically checked for progress and conformance to
established policies and requirements.
Difficulty - LEVEL B: Average… Where the employee is
confronted with a variety of duties susceptible to different methods of solution which, in
turn, places a correspondingly higher demand upon resourcefulness and concentration.
Positions which require the analysis and evaluation of raw data and the rendering of
conclusions would, in many instances, fall into this category.
Complexity - LEVEL C: Work is of a standardized nature that may
involve a variety of duties. Analytical thought becomes more important at this level due
to increased data and changing situations. Tasks usually have several steps, some of which
may not be directly related. Alternatives may exist for processes or methods to be used in
solving problems. Workers at this level exercise a moderate amount of independent
judgment. Work is controlled by routine review and reporting to or consultation with
supervisors. When guidelines exist at this level, they tend to be more complicated or
technical in nature requiring careful interpretation.
Consequence of Actions or Decisions - LEVEL D: Consequences of
actions or decisions at this level are significant as the work may be rarely if ever
reviewed, making errors difficult to detect. Errors may cause major program failure or a
high degree of confusion. Injuries to others due to errors are serious or incapacitating
or both and costs due to errors are substantial.
Contacts - LEVEL B: The purpose of the contact is to plan,
coordinate and advise on work efforts, interpret guidelines or instructions, elicit
opinions or give guidance on the basis of facts to resolve common issues or problems when
the information is not sensitive in nature or the individuals or groups are working toward
mutual goals and have basically cooperative attitudes. Well developed communication skills
are required.
Physical Demands - LEVEL C: The work requires moderate physical
exertion.
Environmental Conditions - LEVEL C: The work environment involves
hazards, risks or discomforts typical of working with or around machinery with exposed
moving parts, irritant chemicals, heavy equipment or abusive or hostile clientele and
patients. Exposure to disagreeable weather conditions and extreme levels of temperature,
ventilation, lighting and sound are normal. Protective clothing or gear and specific
safety standards or procedures may be required. Serious injury is possible.
Supervision/Leadership - LEVEL E: Involves scheduling, supervising
and evaluating work as a "manager" of first line supervisors or as a "first
line supervisor" of workers who perform distinct and separate blocks of work
generally related as to purpose but requiring different processes and methods. Responsible
for hiring and disciplinary actions which may or may not require the approval of a higher
level of authority.
