Representative Duties

DEFINITION
Under immediate (Traffic Signal Technician I) to general (Traffic Signal Technician II) supervision performs skilled electrical work in the installation, modification, maintenance, and repair of traffic signals and lighting control equipment; performs preventive maintenance work on traffic signal systems, including the traffic signal controller, vehicle detection system, battery backup system, signal heads, poles, mast arms, and other related electrical systems; performs routine inspections of traffic signal equipment; tests electrical and electronic equipment operation including timing schemes, vehicle detection, conflict monitors and traffic signal hardware, and other systems to ensure they operate as intended; and ensures electrical compatibility and safety of components.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives immediate (Traffic Signal Technician I) to general (Traffic Signal Technician II) supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Traffic Signal Technician I: This is the entry level classification in the technical/paraprofessional Traffic Signal series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents perform the more routine duties while learning city policies and procedures and becoming familiar with departmental systems and practices. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult. Close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of positions at the II-level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Traffic Signal Technician II: This is the journey level classification in the Traffic Signal Technician series. This class is distinguished from those in the lower classification of Traffic Signal Technician I by the relative independence with which they perform skilled electronic, electro-mechanical, microprocessor control, and electrical work in the installation, modification, maintenance, and repair of traffic signals and lighting control equipment. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

Positions in the Traffic Signal Technician classification series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the next lower level upon management approval, after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class, subject to budgetary funds.

Management reserves the right to add, modify, change, or rescind the work assignments of different positions and to make reasonable accommodations so that qualified employees can perform the essential functions of the job.

Some duties, knowledge, skills, and abilities may be performed/exercised in a learning capacity for entry-level (I-level) positions.
