CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Vector Control Technician I: This is the entry-level classification in the Vector Control Technician series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform a variety of routine vector control and maintenance and inspection duties to eliminate of harmful insects. 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 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.
 
Vector Control Technician II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Vector Control Technician series. Incumbents are fully competent to independently perform full range maintenance and inspection duties to eliminate of harmful insects. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, 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.
 
Positions in the Vector Control Technician class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level after gaining the certification, experience and demonstrating proficiency which meet the qualifications for the higher level class.
 
This class is distinguished from the Sr. Vector Control Technician in that the latter provides technical and functional direction to lower-level staff and is responsible for the more complex work.
