Clerk Typist 3

This position works in the Plumbing and Gas Inspection organizational unit. This is moderately complex clerical and typing work involving supervisory tasks and / or independent typing and clerical duties of comparable responsibility. When employees of this class do not act as supervisors, the complexity of the work may involve some initiative in planning the sequence of duties and the work methods to be employed. Where the supervisory factor is present, however, an incumbent of this class is responsible for assigning and reviewing for quality and quantity the work of one or more subordinates engaged in routine clerical tasks. The work of this class is distinguished from that of a Clerk Typist 2 by the greater difficulty and complexity of the clerical duties and / or the added supervisory responsibilities both of which frequently call for the exercise of independent judgement in the more repetitive phases of the work where decisions are based upon a good understanding of departmental procedures. Employees of this class ordinarily have some responsibility for finality of action on repeat assignments, but difficult or unusual problems are referred to a supervisor. Detailed oral and written instructions on initial and new assignments are received from a supervisor who checks the work for accuracy and completeness and makes a general evaluation in terms of the standards desired. Performs related work as required.

Qualifications include up to high school graduation or supplemented by courses in typewriting, word processing and standard commercial subjects and considerable experience as a Clerk Typist 2, or an equivalent combination of training and experience. Thorough knowledge of business English, spelling, punctuation, and arithmetic. Considerable knowledge of modern office practices and procedures. Ability to assign and supervise the work of one or more subordinates engaged in a variety of routine office duties; set up and type or use a word processor to produce moderately complex statements, reports, lists and documents required in the operations of the department concerned. Skill in the operation of common office appliances.
