The Electrician II uses the City's computerized work order system (Asset Essentials) to receive, document, and close out work orders.

Work often involves coordination with other trades, contractors, supervisors, and building occupants. Safety and communication are key, as this role requires strict adherence to OSHA standards, including lockout/tagout procedures, and frequent use of a bucket truck for elevated work.

Communicate effectively with supervisors, coworkers, contractors, and building occupants, ensuring updates are provided and customer service standards are met. Assist contractors by providing facility access, sharing system knowledge, and verifying completed work.

Monitor and address electrical issues that could impact public events or daily operations, ensuring facilities remain safe and operational. Education/Experience Work requires knowledge of a specific vocational, administrative, or technical nature which may be obtained with six months/one year of advanced study or training past the high school equivalency. Junior college, vocational, business, technical or correspondence schools are likely sources.

Appropriate certification may be awarded upon satisfactory completion of advanced study or training. Required: Two (2) or more years of experience in facility maintenance or municipal/commercial settings. Demonstrated experience operating a bucket truck and working safely at heights.

Strong knowledge of OSHA electrical safety standards, including lockout/tagout. Strongly Preferred: Current Journeyman Electrician's License. Additional Information & Requirements Valid Driver's License required.

State Journeyman Electrician's License required within one (1) year of employment. Work Schedule: Schedule will be Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. Occasional overtime work will be required due to facility emergencies and/or contractor work scheduling.

Signing Bonus: This position is eligible for a one-time $5,000 signing bonus.
