inspect, dismantle, repair, overhaul and test mechanical grinders, pumps, control valves, lift stations, 900 hp blowers, air compressors, booster stations, settling basin machinery, digesters, chlorinators, stationary methane and diesel engines/generators, evaporators, sulfonators, injectors;
machine replacement parts such as shafts, bushings, valve stems, bearings and sprockets;
operate various machine lathes, drill press, electric welders for the various types of welding, hydraulic press, milling machine, pipe threader and various hand tools;
troubleshoot and operate emergency pumps and generators;
design and fabricate replacement parts and equipment;
operate and work from an elevated platform;
effectively communicate with City staff or contract engineers to specify, recommend and provide quality assurance reviews for new or replacement equipment installation;
fabricate parts and fittings;
make assemblies and repair units used in maintenance work from work orders, drawings, specifications, sketches and verbal instruction;
use hand and power tools such as a drill motor, hydraulic press, grinders, power saws, pipe threader and bending machines;
use precision measuring instruments such as height and depth gauges, calipers, verniers and micrometers of various types;
use gas and arc welding equipment in cutting, forming, joining, building-up metal and fabricating of parts;
make accurate estimates of labor and materials necessary for the performance of the work;
keep records and makes reports of work performed;
use required personal protective equipment while adhering to set safety standards.
Additional Duties:
In addition, to the duties listed in the Essential Duties section, each employee in this classification may perform the following duties. Any single position may not be assigned all duties listed below, nor do the examples cover all duties, which may be assigned.
Apply a working knowledge of electrical systems up to transmission line voltages;
set up and conduct test of sophisticated equipment and components under operational conditions to review original factory specifications and make recommendations or repairs to achieve optimal performance;
maintain recording devices;
pour grout;
order necessary parts to maintain equipment or construct replacement parts;
prepare requisitions and associated documents for purchase of repair parts and supplies;
maintain accurate records of work performed, materials used, and associated costs;

Required Qualifications
Knowledge of: Tools, materials, equipment and methods used in the installation, adjustment, maintenance and repair of sophisticated mechanical equipment common to a wastewater treatment plant, control devices and equipment, gas and diesel engines, electric motors, pumps, and valves, methods, tasks, and materials used in the mechanical trades and of safety regulations and practices pertaining to the work, including precautions in handling and storing of liquids, chlorine, and gasses; metal fabrication techniques; the uses and operation of arc welding, gas cutting, welding equipment, and applicable mathematics.
Ability To: Read and interpret mechanical drawings, plans, and specifications; make rough sketches; estimate labor and materials for proposed work; diagnose defects in a variety of mechanical equipment common to the wastewater utility; maintain and troubleshoot motor control circuits; read plans and diagrams; keep records and schedule maintenance work; machine a variety of replacement parts; operate lathes, milling machines, drill presses, and related equipment; apply proper rigging practices; manage multiple repair and maintenance tasks and priorities; order replacement parts and keep maintenance records; coordinate work activities with other departments; read, interpret and apply information from technical manuals; relay highly technical information effectively to others in lay terms; relay operational, maintenance, and mechanical needs and requirements to others effectively in technical terms; forecast resource needs; identify strengths and weaknesses of existing and future equipment including the research and feasibility of new industry trends; help formulate critical repair response strategies; keep records and make reports of work progress and establish and maintain effective working relationships; follow oral and written directions.
Experience and Education: Any combination of education and experience equivalent that would provide the required knowledge and abilities would be qualifying. A typical way to obtain the knowledge and abilities would be: Experience – Sufficient years of journey-level experience in repair and maintenance of mechanical equipment such as pumps, motors, valves, and engines to demonstrate possession of the knowledge and abilities listed above, including experience working in a heavy industrial environment with transmission line voltage systems. Education – Equivalent to completion of the twelfth grade.
License or Certificate: This classification requires the ability to travel to and perform work at various locations. Individuals must be physically capable of operating a motor vehicle safely and possess a valid, Class C, California Drivers License.
Possession of a California Water Environment Association (C.W.E.A) Mechanical Technologist certification is desirable but not required.
Additional Information
Working Conditions: A Mechanical Technologist observes or monitors flow meters, amp meters and pressure gauges to determine compliance with prescribed operating or safety standards. Working with color coded wires and pipes requires the ability to discriminate among and match colors. Micrometers, calipers and other calibrated instruments are used when machining parts. Operating equipment such as drills, lathes and milling machines requires making precise arm-hand position movements, fine, highly controlled muscular movements to adjust the position of a control mechanism, and standing for extended periods of time unable to sit or rest at will. Finishing grout and wrenching bolts requires making continuous or repetitive arm-hand movements. Assembling valves and using a micrometer involves making skillful, controlled manipulations of small objects. Breaking loose large bolts uses explosive strength. Operating a forklift or crane requires coordinating the movement of more than one limb simultaneously. Working on piping and engines involves bending or stooping repeatedly or continually over time. Working on overhead piping requires lifting arms above shoulder level. Work is performed in sumps, vaults, galleys, and other small, cramped areas and involves sitting for extended periods of time with the ability to change positions. Work on overhead piping, conveyors, and roof-mounted equipment is performed at heights greater than 10 feet. Work at pump sites in the field requires walking over rough, uneven, or rocky surfaces and is performed in a variety of weather conditions with exposure to the elements. A Mechanical Technologist must be able to hear alarms and carry gas-filled bottles and equipment weighing more than 50 pounds more than 20 feet. Some work is performed in enclosed spaces with exposure to temperatures as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Mechanical Technologists must be capable of wearing various types of respirators as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
