DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
This is the experienced-journey level of the field maintenance class.

Assignments may be department-wide or restricted to a specific facility, park or section and incumbents may be assigned to both monitor and coordinate installation, maintenance and repair work in their occupational specialty and to perform general trade and maintenance activities as a crew member under direction of a Senior Maintenance Worker or Maintenance Supervisor. The class is distinguished from the Maintenance Worker I/II in that the latter performs a variety of semi-skilled field maintenance work that does not require certification. The Maintenance Specialist is distinguished from the higher level Senior Maintenance Worker by the latter's primary responsibility to act as lead person for field maintenance crews.
