DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS

Under the limited direction of a Supervisor, the Facilities Maintenance Technician III is responsible for performing mastery-level maintenance, repair, and upkeep of County buildings, facilities, and property. This role encompasses multiple trades (Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, and General Construction), each vital to maintaining and repairing County assets. Individuals in this classification have demonstrated mastery of skills necessary to perform work assignments independently and, when necessary, in a lead capacity. This role may manage projects and serve as a Crew Leader to teams of Technician I, II's and Assistants. Individuals in this classification may inspect or direct work from outside contractors.

All Technicians are expected to follow safety protocols, respond to emergency repairs, and perform general duties such as welding, moving furniture, and assisting with inclement weather response. Work is assessed through inspections, reports, feedback, and overall quality. Positions may be temporary or permanent reassignment to other work locations to meet operational needs.

This classification is the third level of four levels in the Facilities Maintenance career ladder series. This level is attainable through meeting defined goals over a set span of time. An employee may be automatically progressed from a Technician II to III without a competitive recruitment should the defined criteria for their trade track(s) be met.
