This is the supervisory level class in the series for positions performing technical wildlife management work typically in a specific wildlife management area. Positions in this class are responsible for accomplishing wildlife management projects and assisting Wildlife Biologists in order to maintain, improve and control wildlife, or are responsible for directing the complete operation and supervision of a State Fish Hatchery. This class is distinguished from the Wildlife Biologist Assistant Senior by the responsibility for total supervision. Directs, controls, coordinates, and plans the work of the staff. Positions are expected to develop methods and procedures to accomplish tasks or follow existing criteria and practices.
Supervision is available for guidance and assistance, if needed.
Performs work connected with wildlife management operations and projects which affects the general public, landowners, sportsmen and others interested in wildlife conservation. Performs work which has a moderate impact on the agency since significant loss of credibility to the agency could result if propagation, control and conservation of wildlife is not provided. An equivalent combination of training and experience indicating possession of the preceding knowledge and abilities may substitute for this education and experience. This class replaces the Fish Hatchery Superintendent class.
