The Position:

Water Plant Operator III:

Under general supervision, performs a variety of skilled journey-level duties in the operation, inspection and minor maintenance and repair of potable water treatment and distribution facilities and equipment; collects samples and performs routine laboratory tests; serves in on-call status at multiple facilities and responds to/resolves plant problems; and performs related duties as assigned.

Water Plant Operator IV and V:

Under broad supervision, leads and participates in the work of other employees engaged in the operation, inspection and minor maintenance and repair of potable water treatment and distribution facilities and equipment; ensures the process meets regulatory compliance guidelines and Agency performance standards; serves in on-call status at multiple facilities and responds to/resolves plant problems and performs related duties as assigned.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:

Water Plant Operator III:

A Water Plant Operator III performs the full range of skilled journey-level plant operations and maintenance tasks. Incumbents perform assigned duties with a significant degree of independence within parameters established by the level of certification, referring more complex issues and problems to a senior, supervisor or designated operator in charge for resolution and decision making.

Employees in this class report to an Operations Supervisor.

Water Plant Operator IV and V:

Water Plant Operator IV and V are an advanced skill level class in the Water Plant Operator series. In addition to performing the full range of journey-level skilled duties, incumbents provide technical guidance to other Water Plant Operators assigned to the treatment plant and provide training and oversight as they carry out plant operations, maintenance and repair duties. A Water Plant Operator IV/V may play a lead role in facilitating plant process shutdowns and startups.

Work is performed independently with only the most complex problems being referred to the Senior Water Plant Operator or Operations Supervisor. Work is typically reviewed by checks of logs, reports and periodic inspections of the plant treatment facilities.

Water Plant Operator IV is distinguished from Water Plant Operator V in that incumbents in the latter class have a Grade V certification.

Employees in this class report to an Operations Supervisor and provide lead work direction and guidance to Water Plant Operators.

Water Plant Operators will be required to cross train and work at Regional Water Recycling Treatment Plants.
