Building Systems Maintenance has three levels of Painters, and the level is determined by a candidate’s knowledge, skills, abilities, experience, and applicable licensure.
Painter I, II, and III : All levels of Painters assist with painting, staining, and applying finishes using the appropriate application tools, protect surfaces with masking tape/paper, drop cloths, and other protective coverings to keep them free from paint, surface preparation, and general repair such as small hole drywall patching, general aesthetic patching, wall base, and other general repair duties. Additionally, all Painters maintain a clean workspace, complete work orders, utilize an electronic timekeeping system daily, and assist other Building Systems Maintenance staff to complete daily tasks, campus projects, irregular maintenance activities, and emergencies.
Painter II: In addition to the duties and responsibilities above, a level II will work more independently and be given more complex duties including contribute appealing color and aesthetic vision, and collaborating with internal parties and external vendors and manufacturers to purchase supplies and arrange other necessary items.
Painter III : In addition to the duties and responsibilities above, a level III will generate activity notifications, accurately translate requests for work to service requests (assess work, allocate, and accomplish in a timely and efficient manner), acquire and/or perform estimates for projects and maintenance repairs, and collaborate with external party vendors and manufacturers and provide approval or rejection of contractors’ proposals and installations.

A level 3 will also train, mentor, and verify work of others, contribute to fostering a positive work environment, motivate and encourage staff to improve, support leadership, and contribute to the development and implementation of departmental vision and goals.
All levels will be assigned to a rotating on-call schedule and urgent situations occasionally require after-hours work.
