The purpose of this recruitment is to fill a vacancy in the Street Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department, as well as establish an eligibility list for future vacancies. Initial position/assignment and salary of the selected candidate will be based on previous work experience and valid licenses/certificates.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
The Ideal Candidate for this position will have prior experience in road maintenance, including work on sidewalks, driveways, roads, curbs, and gutters. While this experience is preferred, it is not required. The candidate must be able to follow directions accurately and demonstrate strong communication skills, both verbally and in writing. They should be punctual, maintain good attendance, and have a positive attitude.

Maintenance Worker I:
This is the entry level class in the Maintenance Worker series. The Maintenance Worker I may often perform many of the duties required of Maintenance Worker II but is not expected to have the depth of experience, skill level and certifications of the Maintenance Worker II. As a result, the Maintenance Worker I will have fewer opportunities to exercise independent discretion and judgment on matters related to work procedures and methods. This position is required to work any shift, weekends and holidays as needed.
Maintenance Worker II:
This is the journey level in the Maintenance Worker series. This class differs from Maintenance Worker I in that incumbents perform more complex maintenance duties including working independently, exercising judgment, and operating the full range of tools and mechanical equipment related to a specific assignment. The Maintenance Worker II may also be expected to assist in the oversight and training of less experienced personnel. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the Maintenance Worker I level, or by candidates with prior work experience elsewhere.
