Ector County 9-1-1

Candidates for the Management Trainee position should be proficient in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel and Access.

Some of the things the successful candidate can expect to do are:

Payroll (for 3 employees), including payroll taxes, voluntary payroll deductions, retirement contributions, etc.
Keep up with the accounts of ~50 telephone companies from which we receive monthly or quarterly revenue.
Recording, processing and filing office records.
Business correspondence.
Monitor bank accounts and public funds investments.
Analyze spreadsheets of 9-1-1 call volume statistics to detect anomalies.
Review maps and databases associated with addresses.  (Geographic Information System and database management)
Analyze coordinates delivered by cell phones to assure proper locations are being transmitted with 9-1-1 calls
Train 9-1-1 dispatchers on the use of telephone equipment.
Learn about developing telecommunications technologies (such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), femtocells, etc.)
Learn developing 9-1-1 equipment and technologies
Interact with state, local and federal 9-1-1 professionals

The administration and implementation of our 9-1-1 system is driven by the dynamics of the telecommunications industry, state and federal regulation and legislation and the expectations of local citizens.  Because the District operates with a three-person staff (Secretary, Operations Manager and Executive Director) each staff member must be cross-trained to fill in during absences.  The Management Trainee candidate will be training for the position of Operations Manager but will be expected to acquire a working knowledge of all three positions.

It's highly unlikely a candidate for this position has training or experience in all phases of the job but a candidate able to be immediately effective and with the aptitude and desire to learn can be successful.
