This is the first class in the Computer Operations series that is responsible for scheduling and monitoring the execution of production job streams and for operating equipment to control production processing by a mainframe or minicomputer. Positions in this class are distinguished from the Computer Operations Technician Senior in that the latter is either a lead worker or is responsible for computer operations at a remote site. Supervision is not a factor. Positions may assist in training and overseeing new employees and lower level staff.
Work affects the accuracy and timeliness of computer output, which affects the work of other units.
Errors can be corrected by re-running jobs or by the intervention of a higher level data processing position. Some knowledge of data communications systems. Some experience related to the operation of data processing mainframes or minicomputers and peripherals, or in production control. An equivalent combination of training and experience indicating possession of the preceding knowledges, skills, and abilities may substitute for this education and experience.
