The fundamental reason this classification exists is to perform skilled and semi-skilled work in the maintenance, repair, alteration, and remodeling of buildings, offices, houses, and other City facilities. Work is performed independently, in crews, or by assisting a journey-level classification, such as Building Maintenance Worker. This work includes the less complex, more routine, and lower skill range tasks of what would otherwise be assigned to a journey level worker. The jobs are fairly predictable in terms of required materials, tools, and work methods.
Work is inspected while in progress or upon completion.
