Law/Patents - Tourism & Travel / Job Title | | Spanish term or phrase: técnico en administración pública | | This job title appears beneath someone's name and signature in a Uruguayan immigration certificate. Any ideas what the English equivalent would be? Public administration specialist or analyst, maybe? (I did find "analyst" and "specialist" suggested in one question about "técnico", which certainly doesn't have its usual meaning here.) TIA for your help. |

| | public administration specialist | Explanation:
As a job title, this works would really be the equivalent. ("Specialist" is one of those vogue words in the field of human resources attached to job titles which may or may not involve any "special" training.) In any case, you would never see "expert" as part of a job title in English.

| Grading comment Thanks Robert and the peer graders. "Specialist" would seem to be the way to go here. But thanks also to María for a most reasonable suggestion. Appreciate everyone's help.
