This class series uses five levels in the Engineering, Planning, Technical Services occupational group, Electronics occupational series and describes work diagnosing, troubleshooting, repairing, constructing, and designing a variety of equipment associated with intelligent transportation systems such as traffic signals, traffic counters, variable message and variable speed limit signs, traffic cameras, weather stations, AM radio, and wireless radio systems.

Note:  This career ladder series incorporates levels I, II, III, and IV.  The I level is to provide entry for hiring new employees into the class series but does not preclude hiring new employees at higher levels. Employees may be promoted through the career ladder in accordance with minimum qualifications and promotional standards. Promotional standards, a selection document under separate cover, sets forth the criteria that define and describe the requirements that must be met at each level. Advancement of employees through the career ladder is dependent on an agency’s/department’s operational needs and distribution of work.
 
The Intelligent Transportation Systems Supervisor level, although not part of the career ladder, provides competitive opportunity for movement of employees.
