SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

Problems that would be mere annoyances in some facilities have the potential of destroying thousands of dollars and months or years of often-irreplaceable work. The Department of Space Planning & Operations is responsible for coordinating and assuring uninterrupted delivery of the necessary utility and other support services.

The above statement is included in this position description in an attempt to provide the reader with an understanding of:

1) The responsibilities of this Office;

3) The stress and pressure placed upon employees by the emergency situations to which they must repeatedly respond.

4) All employees of the Space Planning & Operations department are considered to be “essential.”
