As a Wastewater Technician, you are responsible for operating the City's storm and sewer lift station, as well as the treatment facility infrastructure. Duties include inspecting and servicing equipment, completing scheduled preventative maintenance, maintaining detailed records of equipment and plant systems, and caring for the building and surrounding grounds. As technicians gain the required certifications and experience, they may advance to higher-level technician positions. While the work is similar across all certification levels, as technicians achieve higher levels of EOCP certification, the tasks become more complex, requiring greater independent judgment and problem-solving skills.
