Under direction of the Senior Environmental Scientist (Supervisory), the incumbent will work closely with the Environmental Scientist, Agricultural Pest Control Specialist, and/or Pest Prevention Assistant III, to plan, organize, and direct the work of a medium sized crew, that will include enforcing quarantines and other regulatory work, maintain trapping routes, coordinate the application of pesticides, maintain pesticide inventory and vehicle fleet, oversee pesticide applications performed by outside vendors, assist with fruit removal and tree removal, communicate with the public at educational public meetings, coordinate with other agencies, and perform various insect/disease surveys for the emergency eradication of targeted pests. When detections of ACP and HLB- positive trees trigger a state interior quarantine, the Citrus Division responds immediately by implementing regulatory actions to stop the artificial spread of those pests and thus avoid additional negative impact on the state's natural resources.
