research on special projects including analysis of data and report writing; accounting oversight; and planning/coordination of office automation needs. This work requires a wide range of knowledge encompassing both administrative processes of the County Government and the knowledge of the program areas that are the responsibility of the department/agency to which assigned. While the supervisor provides assignments, an employee in this class has considerable latitude to plan and carry out work independently.

This class of work is characterized by the variety of assignments with which an employee is tasked, often requiring analysis and assessment of unusual situations.

The impact of work performed by an incumbent in this class is realized throughout the department/agency to which assigned.
