This is the first effort by this organization at such an extensive autosnation efFort The Utility envisions that new skills will be required and believes that no existing ciass specs describe the responsibilities accurately. The use of the Trainee title is to provide the opportunity for possibie intemai promotion. (The Utility believes that the Trainee will likely become the Technician, so only one position will be filled at a time.) anvaNxnc�s ta wrrxovsv: The Utility will get better management during the impiementation of its various new cutomated control systems and subsequently the systems will be more ef£iciently utilized in the day-taday operations. otsnnv.ar^racas �nrrxovEn: There are no ]mo�a�n disadvantages except an increase in salazy costs which should be offset over the teazs by the eY2'iciencies of the new systems.

J � . � � The Water iTtility is moving to an environment where computers will be used much more extensively in monitoring and control. There is no position within the Utility that has these responsabilities and e�cisting class specs do not adequately describe these dufies. As a result the management of the Utility requested two new positions: This "Trainee" level and a fully qualified "Technician". S.� 1H1{f'f Review of job profile Interview with supervisor Comparison to ciass specifications Comparison to other posi6ons QES evaluation and analysis Barbara Woolsey �� r. � . �� The position is located in the Water Utility. T'he exact locarion is not precisely clear at this point since the system is still in process of being installed and since some reorganizatian is being undertaken. This is a trainee posifion and will work extensively with the contractor who �t'1�t��.1 is installing the computer system and the information division of Water as well as with the field personnel. The specific responsibilifies of this posifion include: 1. Assists in maintaining the accuracy of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, reviewing data for accuracy and the programs for funcfionatity. This applies to the present system and to systems upgraded or acquired in the future. 2. Assists in performs some basic maintenance on defragmenting PC and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller} softwaze. Operates anti-virus software. Installs software upgrades when they are received. 3. Monitors and recalibrates instruments. 4. Assists in training users to operate hardwaze and software. 5. Assists in collecting and analyzing information necessary to create programs and acquire or upgrade equipment, and assists in writing specification far hardware and softwaze. 6. Assists in training end-users in the efficient use of process controi softwaze. 7. Assists in inspecting and troubleshooting the system. 8. Installs and replaces simple componenu of the system. 9. Maintains inventory of parts. 10. Contacts vendors for repairs and maintenance as necessary. i l. Works closely with vendor/contractor to ensure procedures and progtams are documented so that the Utility can operate the system on its own. 12. Assists in installing, configuring, and testing system andlor PC hardwaze and sofiware. �u,,r �� ],.F�.`T�i ., �� EDP Aide. This class spec does noi indicate the level of responsibility that this position will have, even as a trainee. Any training implied in this spec is at a lower level of difficulty than the riaining contemplated for the position in question. RDP Netwnrk� i ti I. The responsibilities described in this class spec are more specialized than those envisioned for c��. �� the position in question. Moreover, this class spec assumes that the incumbent is fully qualified to do a job whereas the position in question is a trainee. Finally, the EDP Network Specialist I works in a less complex computer environment than is contemplated for the position in question. RDP Network Snecialist II_ This class spec describes a position that works much more with network matters as a technician. The position in question will also have a role in operations and user interface that will be much more active then any responsibility described in the position in quesrion. Communications Technici�n_. This class spec describes a posifion that has technical responsibility but is not a user of the system. T'he positian in question will also be a system "user" as well as a trainer, etc. This spec dces not describe the responsibilifles of the [position in question. �.DP Programmer Trainee. This position has restricted training. The position in question will be a system coordinator and partly a user. Programming haining is too restricted. EDP Proerammer. This class spec dces not describe a positiott that acts as an interface between the system and the user. Normaliy it is restricted to responsibility for programming in one or two computer languages. The position in question will not be a pragrammer primarily. $.ystems Analyst I. This class spec described primary responsibility for working with one or more computer systems, but it stresses the computer xesponsibilifles. The position in quesfion, however, will have relatively more responsibilities as a sort of "systems administrator", and a system user. These comments apply to the other Systems Analyst class specs. Conclusion. No existing ciass spec adequately describes the responsibilities contempiated for the position in question. t111, Y/i 1�J f' � Iw { 1 EDP Aide. Positions in this class do not have the level of responsibility that this position will have, even as a uxinee. These positions rarely have responsibility for departmental wide work. T'hey normally work in a more contro�led environment or have more restricted dufies. F.DP I�etwork S�eciaist I. The responsibilities assigned to positions in this class are relatively more specialized than those envisioned for the position in question. Moreover, these positions are assumed to be able to �� - � �c.� perform a job whereas the posifion in quesrion is a trainee. Finally, these positions work in a less complex computer envizonment than is contemplated for the position in questian. FDP Network Sneciai_ist II_ Again, positions assigned to this class work much more with network matters whereas the position in questions will be less involved in the same kind of technicai matters and will be likely to use such positions as an aid to getting its own work done. The positian in question will atso have a role in operations and user interface that is not characteris6c of posirions assigned to this ciass. Communic?tions Technici�n. Pasitions assigned to this ciass do have technical responsibility but not as a user of the system. The position in question will also be a system "user" and will have an"administrator" role. Positions in this class are relatively restricted to their technical amz. Positions assigned to this class do not ha�e responsibilifles that paraliel those assigned to the position in quesdon. F.DP Programmer Tr�inee. Positions assigned to this class have relatively restricted training, specializing in learning one or two programming languages. These positions get their ideas and assignments from the users. The posidon in question, however, will be an"administrator" and will likely use positions such as those assigned to this class to accomplish its work. EDP Pmgrammer. Posifions assigned to this class aze normally restricted to responsibility for completing programming. While there is interaction with the customer or user these positions do not have daily interaction with a working system which will be the case with the posi6on in question. Positions assigned to this class do not have responsibilities comparable to the position in quesdon. �tems An T _alvst I. Positions assigned to this class have responsibility for worldng with one or more computet systems, but they emphasize the stresses the computer responsibilities. While the Analysts do have responsibility for ease of user interface they are not normally involved in an operational system in the same way that the Water Utility envisions for the position in question. These comments apply to the other Systems Analyst classes. C'Q�j c�,ian. Posidons assigned to the classes described above do not have responsibilities that aze comparable to the posirion in question. contemplated for the position in question. Final (',cmclusion. 5ince no e�usting ciass spec adequately describes the duties of the position in question and s3nce none of the posi6ons assigned to these classes have sufficienfly simiIar responsibilities it is recommended that a new class spec be created. °l'1. �1�\ • �� ,�� :�, The QES analysis supports allocafion to grade 34 of the AFSCME Technicat Unit salary index. This is equivalent to a Water Utility Technician II. I'._s �nF�•_�.c �� It is recommended that the position be allocated to the new class enfifled "Information and Control Systems Integration Trainee".

J � . � � The Water iTtility is moving to an environment where computers will be used much more extensively in monitoring and control. There is no position within the Utility that has these responsabilities and e�cisting class specs do not adequately describe these dufies. As a result the management of the Utility requested two new positions: This "Trainee" level and a fully qualified "Technician". S.� 1H1{f'f Review of job profile Interview with supervisor Comparison to ciass specifications Comparison to other posi6ons QES evaluation and analysis Barbara Woolsey �� r. � . �� The position is located in the Water Utility. T'he exact locarion is not precisely clear at this point since the system is still in process of being installed and since some reorganizatian is being undertaken. This is a trainee posifion and will work extensively with the contractor who �t'1�t��.1 is installing the computer system and the information division of Water as well as with the field personnel. The specific responsibilifies of this posifion include: 1. Assists in maintaining the accuracy of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, reviewing data for accuracy and the programs for funcfionatity. This applies to the present system and to systems upgraded or acquired in the future. 2. Assists in performs some basic maintenance on defragmenting PC and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller} softwaze. Operates anti-virus software. Installs software upgrades when they are received. 3. Monitors and recalibrates instruments. 4. Assists in training users to operate hardwaze and software. 5. Assists in collecting and analyzing information necessary to create programs and acquire or upgrade equipment, and assists in writing specification far hardware and softwaze. 6. Assists in training end-users in the efficient use of process controi softwaze. 7. Assists in inspecting and troubleshooting the system. 8. Installs and replaces simple componenu of the system. 9. Maintains inventory of parts. 10. Contacts vendors for repairs and maintenance as necessary. i l. Works closely with vendor/contractor to ensure procedures and progtams are documented so that the Utility can operate the system on its own. 12. Assists in installing, configuring, and testing system andlor PC hardwaze and sofiware. �u,,r �� ],.F�.`T�i ., �� EDP Aide. This class spec does noi indicate the level of responsibility that this position will have, even as a trainee. Any training implied in this spec is at a lower level of difficulty than the riaining contemplated for the position in question. RDP Netwnrk� i ti I. The responsibilities described in this class spec are more specialized than those envisioned for c��. �� the position in question. Moreover, this class spec assumes that the incumbent is fully qualified to do a job whereas the position in question is a trainee. Finally, the EDP Network Specialist I works in a less complex computer environment than is contemplated for the position in question. RDP Network Snecialist II_ This class spec describes a position that works much more with network matters as a technician. The position in question will also have a role in operations and user interface that will be much more active then any responsibility described in the position in quesrion. Communications Technici�n_. This class spec describes a posifion that has technical responsibility but is not a user of the system. T'he positian in question will also be a system "user" as well as a trainer, etc. This spec dces not describe the responsibilifles of the [position in question. �.DP Programmer Trainee. This position has restricted training. The position in question will be a system coordinator and partly a user. Programming haining is too restricted. EDP Proerammer. This class spec dces not describe a positiott that acts as an interface between the system and the user. Normaliy it is restricted to responsibility for programming in one or two computer languages. The position in question will not be a pragrammer primarily. $.ystems Analyst I. This class spec described primary responsibility for working with one or more computer systems, but it stresses the computer xesponsibilifles. The position in quesfion, however, will have relatively more responsibilities as a sort of "systems administrator", and a system user. These comments apply to the other Systems Analyst class specs. Conclusion. No existing ciass spec adequately describes the responsibilities contempiated for the position in question. t111, Y/i 1�J f' � Iw { 1 EDP Aide. Positions in this class do not have the level of responsibility that this position will have, even as a uxinee. These positions rarely have responsibility for departmental wide work. T'hey normally work in a more contro�led environment or have more restricted dufies. F.DP I�etwork S�eciaist I. The responsibilities assigned to positions in this class are relatively more specialized than those envisioned for the position in question. Moreover, these positions are assumed to be able to �� - � �c.� perform a job whereas the posifion in quesrion is a trainee. Finally, these positions work in a less complex computer envizonment than is contemplated for the position in questian. FDP Network Sneciai_ist II_ Again, positions assigned to this class work much more with network matters whereas the position in questions will be less involved in the same kind of technicai matters and will be likely to use such positions as an aid to getting its own work done. The positian in question will atso have a role in operations and user interface that is not characteris6c of posirions assigned to this ciass. Communic?tions Technici�n. Pasitions assigned to this ciass do have technical responsibility but not as a user of the system. The position in question will also be a system "user" and will have an"administrator" role. Positions in this class are relatively restricted to their technical amz. Positions assigned to this class do not ha�e responsibilifles that paraliel those assigned to the position in quesdon. F.DP Programmer Tr�inee. Positions assigned to this class have relatively restricted training, specializing in learning one or two programming languages. These positions get their ideas and assignments from the users. The posidon in question, however, will be an"administrator" and will likely use positions such as those assigned to this class to accomplish its work. EDP Pmgrammer. Posifions assigned to this class aze normally restricted to responsibility for completing programming. While there is interaction with the customer or user these positions do not have daily interaction with a working system which will be the case with the posi6on in question. Positions assigned to this class do not have responsibilities comparable to the position in quesdon. �tems An T _alvst I. Positions assigned to this class have responsibility for worldng with one or more computet systems, but they emphasize the stresses the computer responsibilities. While the Analysts do have responsibility for ease of user interface they are not normally involved in an operational system in the same way that the Water Utility envisions for the position in question. These comments apply to the other Systems Analyst classes. C'Q�j c�,ian. Posidons assigned to the classes described above do not have responsibilities that aze comparable to the posirion in question. contemplated for the position in question. Final (',cmclusion. 5ince no e�usting ciass spec adequately describes the duties of the position in question and s3nce none of the posi6ons assigned to these classes have sufficienfly simiIar responsibilities it is recommended that a new class spec be created. °l'1. �1�\ • �� ,�� :�, The QES analysis supports allocafion to grade 34 of the AFSCME Technicat Unit salary index.

This class spec does noi indicate the level of responsibility that this position will have, even as a trainee. Any training implied in this spec is at a lower level of difficulty than the riaining contemplated for the position in question. RDP Netwnrk� i ti I. The responsibilities described in this class spec are more specialized than those envisioned for c��. �� the position in question. Moreover, this class spec assumes that the incumbent is fully qualified to do a job whereas the position in question is a trainee. Finally, the EDP Network Specialist I works in a less complex computer environment than is contemplated for the position in question. RDP Network Snecialist II_ This class spec describes a position that works much more with network matters as a technician. The position in question will also have a role in operations and user interface that will be much more active then any responsibility described in the position in quesrion. Communications Technici�n_. This class spec describes a posifion that has technical responsibility but is not a user of the system. T'he positian in question will also be a system "user" as well as a trainer, etc. This spec dces not describe the responsibilifles of the [position in question. �.DP Programmer Trainee. This position has restricted training. The position in question will be a system coordinator and partly a user. Programming haining is too restricted. EDP Proerammer. This class spec dces not describe a positiott that acts as an interface between the system and the user. Normaliy it is restricted to responsibility for programming in one or two computer languages. The position in question will not be a pragrammer primarily. $.ystems Analyst I. This class spec described primary responsibility for working with one or more computer systems, but it stresses the computer xesponsibilifles. The position in quesfion, however, will have relatively more responsibilities as a sort of "systems administrator", and a system user. These comments apply to the other Systems Analyst class specs. Conclusion. No existing ciass spec adequately describes the responsibilities contempiated for the position in question. t111, Y/i 1�J f' � Iw { 1 EDP Aide. Positions in this class do not have the level of responsibility that this position will have, even as a uxinee. These positions rarely have responsibility for departmental wide work.
