Class Characteristics

Assistant Water Resources Technician is the entry level class in the Water Resources Technician series. Initially under direct supervision, incumbents exercise limited discretion and independent judgment in performing the less difficult and technical water resources activities. As knowledge and experience are gained, the work becomes broader in scope, while an increasing independence of judgment is exercised. This class is alternately staffed with Associate Water Resources Technician and incumbents may advance to the higher-level class after gaining the knowledge, skills and experience that meet the qualifications for and demonstrates the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
Associate Water Resources Technician is the journey level class in the Water Resources Technician series. Incumbents exercise discretion and independent judgment in performing the full range of routine and technical water resources activities. This class is distinguished from the Senior Water Resources Technician in that the latter has responsibility for providing lead direction to staff and performing the most technical and responsible Water Resources Technician activities.

This level classification is expected to operate under occasional instruction or assistance while exercising independent judgment within established guidelines, policies and procedures. This class is distinguished from the class of Associate Water Resources Technician in that the Senior class requires a further level of experience and performs advanced and/or lead duties.
