Class Characteristics
Collection System Operator: This is the trainee-level classification in the collection system operator series. Initially under immediate supervision, incumbents learn to inspect, maintain and repair District collection system infrastructure, pump stations and related facilities and equipment. Incumbents learn to perform tasks according to District practices and procedures, as well as state and federal regulations. Since this class is often used as a training class, incumbents may have only limited or no directly related work experience.
Collection System Operator Grade I: This is the first working classification in the collection system operator series. Positions at this level usually perform most of the collection systems infrastructure, pump station and related facilities and equipment inspection, maintenance and repair duties required of the positions at the 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. Since this class is often used as a training class, incumbents may have only limited or no directly related work experience.
The base salary range, dependent on qualifications, is:
