Definition of Position
Under supervision (Streets Maintenance Worker I) of assigned supervisory or management staff, performs a variety of skilled and semi-skilled tasks in the construction, maintenance, and servicing of City streets, traffic signs, sidewalks, curbs and gutter, storm drains, and related structures and equipment; operates and maintains a variety of hand and power tools and equipment; may assist in the training of less experienced personnel; assists other divisions and departments as directed; and performs related work as required.

Distinguishing Characteristics
Streets Maintenance Worker I – This is the entry level class in the Streets Maintenance Worker series performing routine and less complex street maintenance duties while learning City policies and procedures. Positions at this level are not expected to function with the same amount of program knowledge or skill level as positions allocated to the Street Maintenance Worker II level and exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Advancement to the “II” level is based on demonstrated proficiency in performing the full range of assigned duties, possession of required certifications, and is at the discretion of higher level supervisory or management staff.

Streets Maintenance Worker II – This is the full journey level class within the Streets Maintenance Worker series. Employees within this class are distinguished from the Streets Maintenance Worker I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned including the more complex street maintenance duties and providing training to less experienced Streets Maintenance Workers. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are generally filled by advancement from the Streets Maintenance Worker I level, or when filled from the outside, require prior experience. Advancement to the “II” level is based on management judgment and/or certification or testing that validates the performance of the full range of job duties. This classification is distinguished from the next higher classification of Streets Maintenance Worker Lead which provides lead direction to assigned staff.
