DEFINITION

Under immediate (Environmental Compliance Inspector I) or general (Environmental Compliance Inspector II) supervision, performs a variety of technical inspection, monitoring, and compliance duties to ensure various programs comply with City and mandated environmental regulations, and policies; conducts field inspections and sampling; operates specialized sampling tools and equipment; collects and records data; prepares reports; maintains a variety of records and files; and performs related work as required.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Receives immediate (Environmental Compliance Inspector I) or general (Environmental Compliance Inspector II) supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Environmental Compliance Inspector I: This is the entry-level classification in the Environmental Compliance Inspector series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine program inspection and monitoring duties. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen 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 Environmental Compliance Inspector II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment 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.

Environmental Compliance Inspector II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Environmental Compliance Inspector series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Environmental Compliance Inspector I 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.

Positions in the Environmental Compliance Inspector class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Environmental Compliance Inspector II level are normally filled by advancement from the Environmental Compliance Inspector I level; progression to the Environmental Compliance Inspector II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Environmental Compliance Inspector II level.

Positions at the Environmental Compliance Inspector I level may perform some of these duties and responsibilities in a learning capacity

Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine semi-skilled and skilled tasks in the construction, maintenance, and servicing of City streets, parks, trees, landscaping, park facilities, sewer and storm drain collection systems, and equipment. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen 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 Maintenance Worker II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment 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.

Maintenance Worker II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Maintenance Worker series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the 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.

Positions in the Maintenance Worker class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Maintenance Worker II level are normally filled by advancement from the Maintenance Worker I level; progression to the Maintenance Worker II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Maintenance Worker II level.

PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTOR I/II

DEFINITION

Under immediate (Public Works Inspector I) or general (Public Works Inspector II) supervision, performs a variety of duties involved in inspecting the workmanship and materials used in a variety of public works capital improvement projects and/or the work of utility companies and contractors impacting the City’s right-of-way; ensures conformance with applicable laws, codes, ordinances, plans, and specifications; prepares and maintains daily inspection reports, progress payments, change orders, claims, and other written documentation; and performs related work as required.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Receives immediate (Public Works Inspector I) or general (Public Works Inspector II) supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Public Works Inspector I: This is the entry-level classification in the Public Works Inspector series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine public works/construction inspection duties.

As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen 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 Public Works Inspector II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment 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.

Public Works Inspector II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Public Works Inspector series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Public Works Inspector I 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.

Positions in the Public Works Inspector class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Public Works Inspector II level are normally filled by advancement from the Public Works Inspector I level; progression to the Public Works Inspector II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Public Works Inspector II level.

Position at the Public Works Inspector I level may performs some of these duties and responsibilities in a learning capacity.

 Reviews plans and specifications of assigned projects including public works projects, contracted construction, and/or work performed by utility companies; inspects materials and workmanship to ensure conformance to specifications; reviews methods of construction prior to issuance of permits for
