DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Positions in this series may be assigned a variety of duties from among those listed in the Representative Duties section or a combination of those and other related work functions. Duties include both support functions and primary lead responsibilities. The class titles within the series are not interchangeable; each class title requires a particular level of responsibility, independent initiative, and qualifying experience.
