About The Position

Jefferson Parish is hiring two current East Jefferson vacancies in the Department of Drainage. The employment list may also be used to fill future vacancies in East and West Jefferson departments. The position safely and efficiently operates a vacuum truck, such as a Vactor or Vac-Con, and performs minor maintenance and servicing in accordance with safety programs, work standards, and procedures. The operator inspects and maintains tire inflation, oil levels, leaks, radiator coolant, lights and signal devices, windows, lamp lenses, mirrors, and windshield wipers. The operator may also operate equipment assigned to lower-level Equipment Operators and other equipment assigned at the Equipment Operator IV level, as directed by the department. Depending on assigned vehicles, a valid Louisiana Class A CDL may be required. Related work may be assigned. This is an essential emergency-duty position; the employee may not be relieved of duty when the Parish President or designee recommends a voluntary or mandatory evacuation of Jefferson Parish.

Requirements

• Possess a current Louisiana Class B Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and an acceptable driving record. A valid Class B CDL from another state is acceptable initially, but the Louisiana CDL must be obtained within ten days after an employment offer; failure to do so disqualifies the applicant for permanent employment.
• Meet one of the following vacuum-truck qualifications: at least three months of verifiable, satisfactory experience operating a vacuum truck such as a Vactor or Vac-Con; at least three months of adequate on-the-job vacuum-truck training certified by an appointing authority; or verified completion of an approved vacuum-truck operation training course.
• A valid Louisiana Class A CDL may be required depending on the assigned vehicles.
• Submit copies of applicable licenses and training-completion certificates with the application.

Responsibilities

• Safely and efficiently operate a vacuum truck, such as a Vactor or Vac-Con.

• Operate equipment assigned to lower-level Equipment Operators and other equipment assigned to Equipment Operator IV, as directed by the department.

• Perform related work as required.
