Job Description
The City of Menlo Park invites you to join our Streets Maintenance team in our quest to improve the quality of life for our residents and visitors. Focusing on the beautification of the downtown area, this role requires a self-motivated individual capable of working independently to maintain the cleanliness and upkeep of sidewalks, benches, waste receptacles, and other public amenities. From the beautiful bay to the scenic foothills, you will join a dedicated, safety-conscious team that takes immense pride in caring for the City’s roadways, public right-of-ways, and waste management systems. Whether you are looking to kickstart your career with close mentorship (Maintenance Worker I) or ready to bring your established expertise to a highly collaborative environment (Maintenance Worker II), we have a place for your positive attitude and customer service skills. If you value teamwork, efficiency, and want to leave a lasting, clean, and sustainable footprint on our community, we want to hear from you. Apply today!

Maintenance Worker I

This is the entry-level class in the Maintenance Worker series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents with basic maintenance experience learn City infrastructure, systems, grounds, parks, facilities, use of tools and equipment, and a wide variety of practices and procedures. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the 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. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence.

Maintenance Worker II

This is the journey-level class in the Maintenance Worker series responsible for performing the full range of duties required to ensure that City infrastructure, grounds, parks, and facilities to which assigned, are maintained in a safe and effective working condition and provide the highest level of safety for public use. Responsibilities include inspecting and attending to assigned areas in a timely manner, and performing a wide variety of tasks in the maintenance and repair of assigned areas. Positions at this level are distinguished from the level I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently and exercising judgment and initiative. 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. This class is distinguished from the Senior Maintenance Worker in that the latter is responsible for technical and functional supervision of lower-level maintenance staff and performs the most complex duties assigned to the series.
