The Service Center Technician I is the first level in a five level Service Center Technician series. This is the entry-level classification in the Service Center Technician series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine duties in the Service Center including the repair and servicing of tools and equipment and the receipt, storage, and issuance of fire and emergency supplies. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Service Center Technician II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level, and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Positions in the Service Center Technician class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Service Center Technician II level are normally filled by advancement from the Service Center Technician I level; progression to the Service Center Technician II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Service Center Technician II level.
