Non-commissioned officer
From Hidden Frontier
A non-commissioned officer (also known as NCO or non-com) is an enlisted member of Starfleet or another military or service organization who has not attended officer training, but functions as a lower-ranking crewman with authority over other enlisted crewmen.
In Starfleet, anyone who is a petty officer (including specialists, yeomen and technicians) is an NCO, as they are senior to the lower crewman rank. This includes the more senior NCO's, such as chiefs.
