projects and programs. Incumbents typically receive instructions about

the work to be done

and resolving routine problems. Employees at this level are expected to

exercise initiative and

judgment in independently carrying out assignments according to

established policies,

procedures and standards. When solutions are not readily attainable, the

employee refers the

problem to the supervisor. Leadership responsibility is normally limited

to on-the-job training of

other technical staff or interns. May act as crew leader on specific

assignments that do not

require ongoing direction from a supervisor.

Essential Functions

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with

disabilities to perform

These Essential Functions.
