Basic Function and Distinguishing Characteristics
Under general supervision, assists with the inspection, investigation, and enforcement of state and federal laws pertaining to agriculture and weights and measures regulatory programs; collects and reports findings; and performs related duties as required.
Receives general supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.
This is the entry-level classification in the Agricultural Biologist - Standards Specialist series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine inspection, investigation, and enforcement of agriculture and weights and measures regulatory programs while learning agency policies and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Agricultural Biologist - Standards Specialist II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and
methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
Education and Experience/ Licenses and Other Requirements
Any combination of training and experience that would provide the required knowledge, skills, and abilities
is qualifying. A typical way to obtain the required qualifications would be:
? Equivalent to a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with major coursework in
biology, agricultural science, or a closely related field.
? None.
? Possession of a valid California Class C driver's license, to be maintained throughout employment. A valid California Class B driver's license may be required depending on assignment.
? Incumbents must obtain one state license for County Agricultural Biologist or Weights & Measures Specialist in one (1) category within the first twelve (12) months of employment.
? Incumbents are required to obtain three (3) County Agricultural Biologist or Weights & Measures licenses within twenty-four (24) months of hire, including one in a category designated by the Commissioner, to be maintained throughout employment.
