FLSA: Non-Exempt DEFINITION Under immediate (Buyer/Contracts Specialist I) or general supervision (Buyer/Contracts Specialist II), performs a variety of procurement duties, including purchasing and expediting materials, supplies, and equipment for use by County departments; provides technical support, information, and assistance to County departments regarding purchasing specifications and contract requirements; and performs related duties as assigned. SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED Receives immediate (Buyer/Contracts Specialist I) to general (Buyer/Contracts Specialist II) supervision, from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff. CLASS CHARACTERISTICS Buyer/Contracts Specialist I- This is the entry-level classification in the Buyer/Contracts Specialist series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine purchasing, expediting, contracting, and solicitation while learning County policies and procedures and the various commodities and suppliers. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; 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 Buyer/Contracts 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. Buyer/Contracts Specialist II-This is the journey-level classification in the Buyer/Contracts Specialist series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Buyer/Contracts Specialist I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is distinguished from the Senior Buyer/Contracts Specialist in that the latter performs the more complex work assigned to the series and serves in a lead capacity over assigned lower-level staff. Positions in the Buyer/Contracts Specialist I/II class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II-level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the II-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
