Code Enforcement Office Assistant II

Job Summary

The Office Assistant II classification is distinguished from the Office Assistant I by performance

of work requiring more independent judgment; volume and complexity of guidelines used which

require a greater degree of interpretation and interpolation by the incumbents; and the amount

and level of material to be learned being substantially greater, thereby increasing the time

required of the incumbent to learn the duties. While both the Office Assistant I and II are

expected to interact with and service customer needs, the Office Assistant II is expected to

respond to more varieties of situations requiring a more detailed understanding of the department

processes and operations. Additionally, the Office Assistant II is distinguished from the Office

Assistant III classification by the responsibility to perform less complex and comprehensive

administrative support duties.
