Salary range for MWI is $6,099.95 - $7,397.41 monthly

Salary range for MWII is $6,711.18 - $8,154.16 monthly

Opportunity for additional incentive pay for certifications and a commercial license.

 

Job Description:

Definition

Under direction (I) or general (II) supervision, performs a variety of work in the construction, repair, maintenance, and replacement of Town infrastructure, including water, sewer, streets, parks, facilities, and drainage facilities and systems; uses and operates a variety of tools and light to heavy equipment; and performs related duties as assigned.

 

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Receives direction (Maintenance Worker I) or general supervision (Maintenance Worker II) from assigned Public Works Supervisor.  Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

Class Characteristics

Maintenance Worker I: This is the entry-level classification in the Maintenance Worker series.  Initially under direction, incumbents learn Town infrastructure and use of tools and equipment.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; direction 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 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.  This class is distinguished from the Lead Maintenance Worker in that the latter is responsible for providing technical and functional direction to lower-level maintenance staff and performs the most complex duties assigned to the series.

Positions in the Maintenance Worker class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the 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.
