About The Position

Performs a wide range of maintenance tasks—including unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled work—in the construction, operation, repair, and upkeep of the Town’s infrastructure. This includes sewers, streets, parks, storm drainage systems, facilities, and buildings. Safely operates various hand tools, power equipment, construction machinery, and vehicles to support these activities. The Maintenance Worker I may often perform basic duties required by the Maintenance Worker II but is not expected to have the depth of experience skill level and certifications. As a result, the Maintenance Worker I will work with less tools and mechanical equipment and have less opportunities for working independently and making judgements on matters related to work procedures and methods. The Maintenance Worker II differs from a Maintenance Worker I in that the incumbent performs more complex maintenance duties. They typically will operate more independently, exercising judgement, and operating the full range of tools and mechanical equipment needed. The Maintenance Worker III differs from a Maintenance Worker II in that the incumbent performs complex and specialized maintenance duties and projects. They will operate more independently, exercising judgement, and operating the full range of tools and mechanical equipment needed. This position may act as an on-site foreman with limited supervision of staff.
