Field Data Technician

Gila, County of•Globe, AZ

About The Position

Under close supervision, the Field Data Technician is trained to gather property appraisal information in the field. The position identifies and lists property, records management activities, enters information into file records, and verifies the accuracy and completeness of forms. Field inspections note new building activity, improvements, and construction. The technician records building types and construction materials and performs measurements; this position is not a property appraiser. The role also prepares scaled sketches of building footprints and their approximate alignment on parcels, enters field data into Assessor software, manages multiple deadline-sensitive assignments, and meets production and accuracy expectations. The position provides project research support for organizational planning, development, quality assurance, and process improvement. It involves extensive interaction with customers and the public, as well as communication with colleagues and other groups.
