Environmental Program Supervisor II

Class Concept

Performs technical and supervisory work within a statewide environmental, energy or natural resource management program which has a wide variety of functional areas,

Employees either function as assistant program managers or as supervise a number of major statewide work units. In both cases, work supervised is of a high degree of scope, diversity and complexity. Employees have considerable input into the establishment of overall program work goals and objectives to ensure that goals and/or compliance objectives are met. Employees establish goals for the individual work units supervised, and monitor their accomplishments to assure that overall program goals are met. Work at this level is distinguished from that of the Environmental Program Supervisor I because of responsibilities for the supervision for several work units each responsible for a variety of functions, direct input into the operation of the entire program, and a higher level of managerial duties. Employees at this level do not normally or routinely perform assigned workload of projects. Work is performed under the general supervision of an Environmental Program Manager and may include other duties as assigned
