DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
The Collections System Worker I is the entry/journey-level classification in the Department’s Collections System Worker series. Initially under direct guidance, incumbents learn and perform a variety of routine duties in the maintenance, repair, construction and/or installation of wastewater collection lines, mains, and facilities, monitor and maintain the Department’s sanitary sewer lines, and clear line blockages. Duties may involve the operation of mechanical equipment related to specific assignments. Incumbents in this class require the ability to work independently, exercising judgment and initiative. The Collections System Worker I is distinguished from the Collections System Worker II in that an incumbent in the latter class operates more sophisticated equipment such as a sewer line video camera and related computer equipment. The Collections System Worker I is further distinguished form the Collections System Lead Worker in that an incumbent in the latter class is responsible for overseeing the work of a Collections System Crew and ensuring proper safety guidelines and procedures are followed.
Incumbents in the Collections System Worker I classification are expected to perform at the journey-level within one (1) year of appointment and are expected to exercise discretion and independent judgment within established guidelines. Employees in this class typically report to the Collections System Supervisor.
