Class Concept
This is professional work in developing statewide educational and public information aspects of the stateowned historic sites. Employees at this level have statewide responsibility for the more complex and technical educational resources development of all sites. Employees may supervise lower level employees that provide consultation on a regional basis or handle less complex aspects of the area of specialization. Employees provide advice and consultation to the site managers in their area of expertise for the most complicated projects involving in-depth research, creativity, and site interpretive planning. Employees develop standards for site interpretation and visitor services to provide consistency in these aspects of the historic program at all the sites. Employees report to the supervisor of interpretations and perform related duties as required. Assigned duties may vary in nature due to the consultation and assistance provided to differing historic sites and the level of consultation required. Consultation includes assistance to all stateowned sites in the most complex aspects of the area of specialization. The more complex aspects are characterized by the creativity and in-depth research and planning required to develop innovative interpretive programs and site plans. Responsibilities include project leadership for developing sites or changes and enhancements to interpretive programs at existing sites. Work requires an understanding of local, regional, and state history and the activities associated with the research and development of interpretive and operational aspects of historic sites. More in-depth knowledge and research are required for the area of specialization to develop ideas into feasible plans and programs for enhancements at existing or developing sites. Work requires familiarity with available resources in the section, department, and outside historical organizations.
