DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Information Technology Service Desk Analyst I - This is the entry-level classification of the Information Technology Service Desk Analyst series. This classification is distinguished from the Information Technology Service Desk Analyst II position by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties such as routine help desk calls. This classification acts as the first level of technical support in answering questions from the user community involving routine problems associated with standard District software. This classification receives immediate supervision from higher-level supervisory staff. Since this classification is typically used as a training classification, employees may have only limited or no directly - related work experience.


Information Technology Service Desk Analyst II - This is the full journey level classification within the Information Technology Service Desk Analyst series. Employees within this classification are expected to be able to handle a full range of duties including more complex technical support tasks. Typically, this will include Information Technology Service Desk questions of increasing complexity. This position may make decisions regarding the next level of required support. Employees at this level will receive direction from the higher-level Management Information Systems staff and may be called upon to provide technical direction to lower level personnel in this classification. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Adequate performance at this level requires the knowledge of departmental and computer related procedures and the ability to choose amongst a number of alternatives in routine problem solving situations. Positions in this classification are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the Information Technology Service Desk Analyst I level.
