The fundamental reason this classification
exists is to supervise work crews involved in skilled or semi-skilled maintenance
and repair work; positions are located in multiple City departments. The work responsibilities are: plans assignments;
directs activities of the crew; performs maintenance, repair, and utility work
tasks; documents activities on
projects; and supervises the work crew.
The distinguishing characteristic of this classification is
the responsibility for supervising work crews engaged in manual semi-skilled to
skilled labor performing building and grounds maintenance and repair work. A
work crew is typically composed of an Equipment Operator and two to five
Service Maintenance Workers. (The number
of crew members varies depending on location as well as the time of the year
and special events occurring.) Incumbents
are responsible for planning and carrying out assignments with considerable
independence and have some latitude in developing procedures and methods. Incumbents physically engage in work tasks
when necessary. Position incumbents
receive work assignments and are responsible for prioritizing those
assignments. Supervisors are contacted
for guidance in cases of unexpected occurrences or unanticipated
situations. Errors made during the
performance of tasks can result in safety hazards to the general public and the
work crew. Supervision is received from various classifications, dependant upon
the incumbents’ assigned location.
