Job Description
Class Title
Water Distribution Operator-in-Training/II/III
Class Code
244-245-246
Salary
$3,818.00 - $6,881.00 Monthly

Basic Function

Under supervision, performs a variety of semi-skilled and skilled assignments in the construction, maintenance, and repair of City water distribution systems, streets and sidewalks; and performs related work as assigned.

Distinguishing Characteristics

The Water Distribution Operator series is alternately staffed with Water Distribution Operator-in-Training (OIT), II, and III. Operators in this series perform a broad range of duties in the basic construction, maintenance, and repair of the water distribution system. Incumbents generally work as a member of a crew but may be given independent assignments and may, under direction, lead a small crew of trainees or temporary workers and assist with training. All positions in this classification require a willingness to perform on-call duty assignment and call-back work as required.

The OIT is the entry-level position and does not require certification. However, incumbents in both the OIT and II positions are required to get certifications within a certain period of time as follows to remain in the series. An OIT is required to obtain a D2 Water Distribution Operator certification from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) within eighteen months of date of hire. Successful completion of these tasks will allow the incumbent to be promoted to the Water Distribution Operator II but not before passing the 6 month probationary period. At the II level, an incumbent is required to obtain a D3 Water Distribution Operator certification from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) within eighteen months of the date of hire or of promotion and will allow the incumbent to be promoted to a the Water Distribution Operator III, but not before passing the 6 month probationary period. Once promoted to the III level, an incumbent who would like to advance may pursue further certification at his or her own discretion but is not required to do so by the Water Department.

Water Distribution Operator-in-Training (OIT) is the non-certified entry and training level of the Water Distribution Operator series. Under direct and continuous supervision and in a training capacity, incumbents are assigned routine semi-skilled maintenance tasks while learning the basic construction and maintenance trades related to water distribution systems. Incumbents learn to perform a broad range of duties in the basic construction, maintenance, and repair of the water distribution system working as a member of a crew. The OIT position is distinguished from the next higher level of Water Distribution Operator II in that the latter serves as the intermediate training class and first journey level of the series. Incumbents in this class are assigned routine tasks to be performed independently or on a work team.

Water Distribution Operator II is the intermediate training and first journey level position within the Water Distribution Operator series. Incumbents work under general supervision performing a broad range of duties in the basic inspection, construction, and maintenance of the City’s water distribution system and facilities. Incumbents generally work as a member of a small crew but may be given independent assignments. Water Distribution Operator II is distinguished from the next higher level of Water Distribution Operator III by the latter serving as the full journey level class within the series and performing assigned routine and complex tasks independently or as part of a work crew with general supervision. The II is distinguished from the OIT classification by the requirement of a D2 Water Distribution Operator certification issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).

Water Distribution Operator III is the fully trained journey level classification in the series and is distinguished from the Water Distribution Operator II by the requirement of a D3 Water Distribution Operator certification. Incumbents perform a broad range of duties in the basic construction, maintenance, and repair of the water distribution system. Incumbents generally work as a member of a crew but may be given independent assignments and, under direction, lead a small crew of trainees or temporary workers and assist with training.
