Senior Administrative Specialist I:
This classification is the entry-level in the Administrative Technical Specialist series. Initially under general supervision, incumbents perform a variety of administrative support duties and learn department programs, policies, procedures, and operational details. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; direction 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 II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less 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.

Senior Administrative Specialist II:
This is the journey-level classification in the Administrative Technical Specialist series. Incumbents at this level perform the more difficult assignments assigned to classes within the series, requiring the use of discretion and judgment in performing assigned work, and full and thorough knowledge of the operational details, programs, procedures, and policies of assigned department. 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.

Positions in the Administrative Specialist class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II-level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the II-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications;

and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
