Utility Worker I is the entry level class in this series, initially under close supervision; incumbents learn and perform a variety of duties in the maintenance, operations and repair of water distribution systems, and the maintenance of landscape and facilities. Incumbents at the Utility Worker I level may reasonably expect to advance to the Utility Worker II level through the promotional process by demonstrating the proficiency and meeting the qualifications of the higher-level class.
Utility Worker II is the journey level class in this series. A Utility Worker II position differs from a Utility Worker I in any or all of the following aspects: the tasks require the specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities pertaining to the safe operation and procedures of water distribution systems and heavy equipment. This class typically takes daily direction from a Utility Worker III and participates in all aspects of maintenance and construction work within the Utilities Department. At times, incumbents function independently or lead small teams thus requiring them to exercise individual initiative in safety precautions and independent decision-making.
Salary Range:
Utility Worker I $31.29 - $38.06 per hour
Utility Worker II $35.23 - $42.87 per hour
Application Process (schedules are subject to change):
The Utility Worker I/II announcement will remain open until 100 applications are received or until December 20, 2024, whichever occurs first.
