This flexibly staffed classification series specification describes the journey-level classification in the Infrastructure Engineering series.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
The classification of Infrastructure Services Analyst is a multidisciplinary, journey-level classification in the Infrastructure Engineering series located in the Information Technology Department (ITD).

This classification is distinguished from the higher-level classification in the flexibly staffed classification of Infrastructure Services Technician by the complexity of technical issues assigned and the analytical skill required to perform assigned duties. This classification is further distinguished from the Senior Infrastructure Services Analyst by the complexity of projects assigned and systems supported, as well as the latter’s responsibility to function as a supervisor.
Infrastructure Services Analysts are eligible to flexibly promote to the higher-level classification of Senior Infrastructure Services Analyst upon a positive performance evaluation and successful demonstration of proficiency to perform the essential duties of the higher-level classification.
