DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Employees at this level are not expected to perform with the same independence of direction and judgment on matters related to established procedures and guidelines as are positions allocated to the II level. Since this class is typically used as a training class, employees may have only minimal or limited related work experience. Employees work under immediate supervision (based on specific assignments) while learning job tasks.
 
Facility Worker II - This is the semi-journey level class within the Facility Maintenance Worker series. This class is distinguished from the Facility Worker I by the assignment of the full range of duties assigned.
