CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
This is the lead worker/advanced level class in the Sheriff's Materiel Specialist series. Incumbents function as lead workers in materiel management units where the structure of the unit, number of staff and/or heterogeneous nature of the materiel involved warrants the use of lead positions. They also perform a variety of advanced materiel management support activities that may utilize complex materiel control and record keeping systems. Incumbents may also request, assign, direct and monitor inmate workers. This class is distinguished from Sheriff's Materiel Specialist I by the nature of the assignments. A Sheriff's Materiel Specialist I is primarily a line worker who may be assigned lead duties if the work unit is small and/or if it handles materiel of a homogeneous nature. However, a Sheriff's Materiel Specialist II functions as a lead worker in a relatively large and/or diverse functional unit.
