DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Controls Technician I: This is the entry-level classification in the Controls Technician series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine a variety of skilled duties in maintaining and repairing electronic systems control equipment, devices and components. 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 Controls 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.

Controls Technician II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Controls Technician series responsible for performing 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. The Controls Technician II class is distinguished from the Senior Controls Technician level in that the latter class performs the more complex work assigned to the series, such providing technical and functional direction over lower-level staff.
