DEFINITION

Under direction, performs skilled trades work pertaining to painting, wallpapering and other surface finishing; prepares surfaces, chooses materials and applies finishes; performs semi-skilled duties related to other maintenance trade areas; and performs related work as assigned.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

This is a specialist level, skilled maintenance class in the Maintenance Support Series within the Yosemite Community College District (YCCD). Incumbents in this class perform specialized duties related to painting and finishing surfaces. Incumbents utilize specialized skills that have generally been obtained through technical education and/or substantial on-the-job experience.

This class can be distinguished from the lower-level class of Maintenance Technician because incumbents in that class perform semi-skilled maintenance duties that often span multiple maintenance trade areas. It can be distinguished from higher-level Maintenance Lead classes because incumbents in those classes serve as lead workers by assigning, directing and monitoring the work of subordinate skilled and semi-skilled staff on a regular, project or assignment basis.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Incumbents in this class work under the direction of a manager, receiving occasional supervision while working toward a definite objective that requires use of a wide range of procedures. Incumbents plan and/or determine specific procedures or equipment required to meet assigned objectives and solve nonroutine problems, referring only unusual matters to the supervisor.

An incumbent in this class does not directly lead or supervise other full-time employees, but may assign, direct and/or monitor the work of subordinate full time and/or part time employees on a project or assignment basis.
