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.

Network Systems Specialist I This classification is given substantial but limited responsibility for assigned duties including well-defined projects of limited scope. The Network Systems Specialist I requires fundamental knowledge of the District's network design, technologies, devices, operational rules, testing and monitoring systems, network operating systems, network services, client operating systems, and applications. The Network Systems Specialist I is expected to resolve most technical problems on his/her own initiative, while major problems are solved after consultation with higher level staff.

Network Systems Specialist II This classification is assigned the highest levels of responsibility for network system and service planning, development, and technical administration and performs these tasks autonomously. The Network Systems Specialist II requires extensive and comprehensive knowledge of the District's network design, technologies, devices, operational rules, testing and monitoring systems, network operating systems, network services, client operating systems, and applications.

The Network Systems Specialist II is assigned primary lead responsibility for an area of focus and performs these responsibilities with limited coordination. This position also may include lead responsibility for network development or systems administration projects of broad scope. The Network Systems Specialist II is expected to resolve nearly all technical problems on his/her own initiative, though consultation with management is appropriate for exceptional problems and policy issues.
