Montgomery City County Personnel

ITS ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN II (#CI5751)

Pay Grade

S12

Nature of Work

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to serve as a lead worker to other ITS Electronic Technicians while also performing advanced, highly skilled technical work in the installation, repair, and maintenance of the City of Montgomery’s electronic traffic control devices and their operation systems.  Work requires a broad range of electronics technical knowledge and is performed with considerable independence of judgment. Primary work responsibilities may include: performing field supervisory duties; performing the duties of the ITS Manager during absences; monitoring traffic from the Traffic Management Center (TMC); installing and programming electronic traffic control devices and supporting equipment; responding to service requests and calls; and performing diagnostic checks and repairs to electronic traffic control devices, fiber optic cables, and supporting equipment.  The ITS Technician II is distinguished from the ITS Technician I in that the ITS Technician II serves as the lead worker onsite and typically performs more complex technical duties.  Work is performed under the general supervision of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Manager.
