General Responsibilities

The focus of this position centers around the careful, deliberate, imaginative, and serious undertaking of defined work. The job requires an ability to deal in a systematic and patient way with factual and technical information and processes, as well as an ability to focus directly on the knowledge base required for the task. This job requires a serious and disciplined approach and to do it well may mean doing it alone. Doing this job successfully requires focus on the immediate work to be done. A disciplined, conscientious, hands-on approach is central to this job, and it requires work that is high quality and precise. Getting it ‘done right,’ with no mistakes is key to the position. This job is primarily task-focused and does not rely heavily on interactive or social skills. In fact, there are few responsibilities in that area, and significant private time to think and absorb information. Due to the detailed, accuracy-focused nature of this job, the successful candidate will be subject to scrutiny that may subject the candidate to both worry and criticism. Because this is a creative, technical position and because it requires a high level of expertise and accuracy, it provides an opportunity to thoroughly plan in order to do the job right.
