This is the entry, recruiting and developmental class for the Public Utilities Regulatory Analyst series. Under supervision, incumbents perform a broad range of research and analyses applicable to public utilities and transportation regulation; they are assigned duties and responsibilities commensurate with their background and training. Positions may be permanently assigned to this level when the major functions of the position do not include the more varied, responsible, independent and difficult assignments found in the full journeyperson level of the Public Utilities Regulatory Analyst II.
