DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Public Works Maintenance Worker I
This is the entry level class in the Public Works Maintenance
Worker class series. Positions in this class normally perform most
of the duties required of the II level, but are not expected to
function at the same skill level and normally exercise less
discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and
methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits a
pattern which has been established and explained before work is
started. Generally, changes in work procedures are explained in
advance as they arise. Under the flexible staffing concept,
positions assigned to the Public Works Maintenance Worker I level
may reasonably expect to progress to the Public Works Maintenance
Worker II level with training, experience, and satisfactory job
performance.

This is the journey level in the class series. Positions in this
class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement
from the Public Works Maintenance Worker I class, or when filled
from the outside, require prior experience in the construction and
maintenance of streets, sewers, and public works related
facilities. Appointment to the higher class requires that the
employee be performing substantially the full range of duties for
the class and meet the qualification standards for the class,
including the proven ability to assume full stand-by program
responsibility. All positions assigned to this class require the
ability to work independently exercising judgment and initiative.
Duties will normally require the ability to operate the full range
of mechanical equipment related to a specific assignment.
