Forestry Supervisor II

Class Concept

Work in this class involves providing technical and administrative assistance to a Division Director either at the state or regional level. This may include: providing assistance to a Field Division Director within an assigned geographic area consisting of 27 – 41 counties or roughly 1/3 of the state; administrative and technical supervisory work over the total North Carolina Forest Service program within an assigned geographic area, usually consisting of a district (four to ten counties) or a State Forest, or; technical and administrative work in directing a specific statewide forestry program in establishing program goals and objectives to meet program and/or departmental requirements. Employees are responsible for planning work operations, organizing personnel, establishing, and maintaining a program budget, and reviewing the output of subordinate work units and/or providing technical supervision to work units to assure that goals and/or compliance objectives are met. Employees function independently on a day-to-day basis. Work is further distinguished from that recognized in the Forestry Supervisor I step by an increased level of responsibility and accountability in providing technical and administrative supervision in specific program areas over a larger or more complex geographic or program area. As necessary, other related duties may be assigned.
