DEFINITION
Under direct or general supervision, performs operations, control, and maintenance functions during assigned shift at the Agency's wastewater treatment and recycle water facilities; performs basic laboratory testing and sample collection; and performs other job related duties as required.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Operator I: This is the entry-level class in the Operator series. Positions at this level are expected to develop working knowledge of plant operations and maintenance in order to perform the full range of duties involving all types of equipment and machinery within all work areas. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level, but are not expected to function with the same amount of skill level and usually 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 patterns. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
Operator II: This is the intermediate journey-level class in the Operator series performing control, operations, and maintenance duties during an assigned shift. Incumbents are expected to have detailed knowledge of plant operations and be capable of performing a range of plant operations. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of a range of duties as assigned, working independently, applying well developed skills, and exercising judgment and initiative. Assignments are performed with the expectation that incumbents have the ability to choose among alternatives in solving job problems and work productively in the absence of a supervisor. Positions 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. Work is normally reviewed only on completion and for overall results. This class is distinguished from the Operator III in that the latter is expected to assume lead responsibility as "Shift Supervisor" over lower-level staff as needed and assumes responsibility for making independent decisions on the full range of control, operations, and maintenance problems.
