THE OPPORTUNITY
This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Airport Technician class series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently under less supervision than the I-level, and exercising judgment and initiative. 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.
While this class contains some work elements found in maintenance classes, it is distinguished from them in that these duties relate specifically to aviation services and airport operations. This class is further distinguished from Airport Operations Supervisor in that the latter has day-to-day supervisory and administrative responsibility for aviation services and airport operations.
