LASS TITLE: STR EET MAINTENANCE WORKER I/II
D
EFINITION:
Under immediate supervision performs a variety of semi -skilled and skilled tasks in the construction, maintenance, and repair of city streets, sidewalks, signs, and related public works facilities and infrastructure; performs traffic signing and striping work; performs a variety of manual labor and general maintenance work in support of the Public Works Department; learns to operate heavy equipment and a variety of hand and power tools; and performs related work as required.
DI
STINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:
Street Maintenance Worker I – This is the entry level class in the Street Maintenance Worker series. Initially, under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine street maintenance duties, and learn and apply City and safety policies and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessens as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Street Maintenance Worker II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgement in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
S
treet Maintenance Worker II – This is the fully qualified journey level class of the Street Maintenance Worker series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Street Maintenance Worker I level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.
Posi
tions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the I level once there is a departmental need, and the incumbent meets the qualification standards of the II level, demonstrates an ability to perform the full scope of the work, otherwise meets performance standards, and any assessment requirements to move to the II level.
Thi
s class is distinguished from the Street Maintenance Worker III, in that the latter serves as a crew lead, providing technical and functional supervision to street maintenance staff.
