GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The Sanitary Sewer Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) department is responsible for cleaning, televising, evaluating, maintaining, and rehabilitating the City’s sanitary sewer system; supporting the I&I Reduction Program; monitoring contractor work; and collecting, reviewing, and maintaining information used to evaluate system condition and reduce inflow and infiltration.

Assignments may emphasize field crew work, computerized inspection and records work, or a combination of both based on department needs, employee training, and demonstrated ability.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• High school diploma or GED equivalent.

• Possession a valid Class B CDL with tanker endorsement or the ability to obtain within 12 months of hire.

• Experience in underground utilities or closely related work such as construction, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, mechanical, data/inspection work, or similar experience is desirable.
