Instrument Worker II

Instrument Worker IIs (IWIIs) perform a variety of sub-journey level inspection, maintenance, and repair of metering and recording instruments, controlling apparatuses, data logging and display equipment, and communications and telemetering systems used in large metropolitan water distribution and wastewater treatment facilities.

IWII's can advance to Instrument Worker III (IWIII) and eventually to Instrument Technician (IT) by gaining experience and achieving proficiency which meets the requirements of the higher-level classification. Part of the process to advance to an IWIII and IT is to demonstrate competency through a combination of performance evaluations and successful completion of competency tests.

The ideal candidate will have:

*A solid understanding of hand and power tools used in electrical and instrument repair.

*Mechanical ability and knowledge of arithmetic and mechanical principles.

*Knowledge of basic electrical safety practices.

*Ability to read shop drawings and electrical diagrams.

The salary range is $8,435 per month increasing to $8,857, $9,300 and $9,765 after 12, 24, and 36 months, respectively.
