CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Facilities Maintenance Worker I: This is the entry level class in the Facilities Maintenance Worker series. Incumbents initially work under immediate supervision and receive detailed instructions and training on assignments. Incumbents generally work within an established framework of set procedures in performing assigned tasks. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. Positions at this level usually perform most of the 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.
Facilities Maintenance Worker II: This is the journey level class in the Facilities Maintenance Worker series. Incumbents work under general supervision performing the full range of semi- skilled and skilled maintenance work. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I level 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 Facilities Maintenance Supervisor in that the latter is the full supervisory-level class in the series and has ultimate responsibility for organizing, assigning, supervising, and reviewing the work of all staff involved in parks maintenance operations.
Positions in the Facilities Maintenance Worker class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II level are normally filled by advancement from the I level requiring two (2) additional years of experience and after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class. When filled from the outside, the employee is required to have three (3) years of prior related experience that allows the employee to meet the qualification standards for the II level.
Education and Experience:
Any combination of training and experience that would provide the required knowledge, skills, and abilities is qualifying. A typical way to obtain the required qualifications would be:
Facilities Maintenance Worker I: Equivalent to graduation from high school and one (1) year of work experience performing a variety of maintenance and/or construction work including work in one or more of the following trades: carpentry, electrical, painting, plumbing, mechanical, and welding.
