Housing Technician II – This is the journey level class in the Housing Technician series and is distinguished from the I level by the ability to perform the full range of duties assigned with only occasional instruction or assistance as unusual or unique situations arise. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the I level.

This class is distinguished from that of the Senior Housing Technician in that the latter is an advanced journey level class responsible for complex and difficult housing program eligibility, certification and inspection matters, and exercises technical and functional supervision over technical and support staff.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Housing Technician I – Receives immediate supervision from the Housing Supervisor or Housing Analyst; and technical and functional supervision from a Senior Housing Technician.
