Class Concept
Work in this class involves overseeing and conducting a variety of forestry services that may include fire suppression, forest law enforcement, forest protection, forest management, and information/education, and/or disaster/emergency response within an assigned unit such as a county, educational state forest, forestry nursery, Youthful Offenders Program, or other forestry program. Work is typically overseen by a Forestry Supervisor or higher-level Forestry Technician and typically involves the supervision and training of permanent Forestry Technician I and/or temporary employees. Other related duties may be assigned as necessary. Work is subject to hazards such as fire, pests, wild animals, weather, and difficult terrain. Work is also subject to on-call and rotating shifts and rotation of work areas. Work is further distinguished from that recognized in the Forestry Technician I step by an increased level of responsibility and accountability to include administrative duties (such as supervision, work planning, and purchasing with a state P-card) and technical oversight of the local program or assigned work unit.
