initially under immediate supervision and receive detailed instructions and training on

assignments. Incumbents generally work within an established framework of set

Worker I is expected to obtain the skills and knowledge necessary to advance to

journey-level performance. Work is reviewed frequently and assessed for results

achieved.

This is the journey level for the Maintenance Worker series. Incumbents work within

an established framework of set procedures in performing assigned tasks and are

expected to perform a variety of journey-level maintenance, repair, and construction

tasks with general supervision and minimum instruction. Work is normally reviewed

only on completion and for overall results.

The classification of Maintenance Worker III represents the highest level of the

series. Incumbents in this class are expected to perform their assigned tasks with

limited supervision, assigned technically advanced duties and may be assigned

responsibility for field direction of assigned crews. Incumbents are expected to know

the work functions, act independently, and advise supervisors of needed work and

approximate time and materials needed to complete the work. Incumbents are

expected to have proven skills in the operation of all assigned equipment.

Incumbents in this class will be assigned to a maintenance crew and may be interchanged on crews depending on the needs of the department. Incumbents may be assigned to varying work schedules, weekend work, and be called back to work as needed by the city.
