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. Appraiser II : This is the first journey-level classification in the Appraiser series. Under general supervision, positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level 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. Appraiser III : This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Appraiser series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the II-level by independently performing the more complex appraisals such as commercial appraisals and providing project and/or specialist support. Positions in the Appraiser class series are flexibly staffed. Positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level and positions at the III-level are normally filled by advancement from the II-level after gaining the knowledge, skill, experience, and where applicable, certification, which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
