German term or phrase: sachbearbeitende Aufgaben
Of course I am familiar with Sachbearbeiter but have not come across sachbearbeitend before. The context is the level of remuneration offered according to levels of work qualification and experience in industry. The text is table of salary levels with corresponding descriptions of what has to be achieved to qualify for the payment level in question. Here is the relevant sentence:

(Qualifications and duties relvant to pay group E5 in industry) -"**Sachbearbeitende Aufgaben** und/oder Facharbeiten, deren Erledigung weitgehend festgelegt sind."

How to describe these duties in English -professional? clerical? All suggestions would be appreciated.

Explanation:
I think this is a pretty safe bet.

Beamte und Beamtinnen im mittleren Dienst der Allgemeinen (Inneren) Verwaltung übernehmen als Kommunal-, Landes- oder Bundesbeamte und -beamtinnen vorwiegend sachbearbeitende Aufgaben. Sie bereiten Entscheidungen der Beamten und Beamtinnen des gehobenen Dienstes vor und unterstützen diese bei ihrer Tätigkeit, bearbeiten Anträge an die jeweilige Behörde und beraten Bürger/innen. Zudem erstellen sie Gebührenbescheide und wickeln den Zahlungsverkehr ab.

Thanks very much-Tom Thumb's upgrading to executive might have applied in another context but I see in the wider context of my text that the persons in the Group would not have much experience and therefore presumably no executive responsibilities. Thanks to all!
