BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department is comprised of four divisions: Administration, Engineering, Maintenance Operations, and Environmental Programs and Operations. The Department is responsible for providing engineering services to the public and other City departments and managing capital improvement projects throughout the City; providing maintenance and repair for the City’s fixed assets, which include buildings, streets, sidewalks, storm drains, sewers, traffic signals, street lighting and other components of the infrastructure; and coordinating graffiti removal, street sweeping and tree trimming services for the City. The Department manages two separate enterprise operations that are responsible for refuse collection and disposal and sewer collection and disposal. Additionally, the Department manages the City’s environmental programs relating to sustainability, energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction, and water quality.
The Subdrain Crewleader classification supports the Department by supervising and participating in the maintenance and repair of wastewater mains and lift stations and stormwater collection systems.
In anticipation of conducting an open and competitive recruitment, Human Resources staff in concurrence with Public Works management completed a review of the Subdrain Crewleader classification. The proposed revisions will assist the City with providing clarity to applicants regarding essential duties of the position based upon assignment, and the knowledge, skill and ability expected to perform these duties. Revisions were made to the Classification Definition, Supervision Received and Exercised, Essential Job Duties, Minimum Knowledge, Skills and Ability and License and Certificates.
