The fundamental reason this
classification exists is to perform skilled work in the installation, climbing,
maintenance and repairing of ballfield and stadium lighting, electrical systems
and equipment. The work responsibilities include supervising, reviewing and
providing leadership to skilled and semi-skilled crews, supervising and
performing the constructing, erecting, installing and repairing of lighting
structures and fixtures, supervising and performing a variety of electrical
installations, maintenance and repairing of work in public buildings, and
performing administrative duties. The employee in this class will supervise
work of individuals in the Electrician I and II positions, who perform
construction and maintenance activities in city complexes and on various city
owned properties. The incumbent will inspect lighting and electrical systems to
make recommendations to superiors for needed repairs. Minimal supervision is received,
but is specific in nature; however, the employee is responsible for organizing
the work and exercising technical supervision over the work. The Ballfield
Lighting Technician reports to the Mechanical Trades Supervisor and/or Building
Construction Superintendent.
A high school
diploma or its equivalent; and/or degree or certificate of training from an
accredited electrical technology or electrician program is a plus. One year of
experience climbing poles up to a height of 135 feet and working with
electrical systems up to 7200 volts. Additional
qualifying experience include supervisory experience in the construction,
operation, and maintenance of ballfield lighting systems.
NOTE: Qualifying education, training and experience
