STREETS MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN

Rate of pay: $23.48/hour plus premium pay of $30/day while on-call.

About the Role

Our streets maintenance division is looking for a new team member. The job duties differ based on the season but provide stable, year-round work close to home. Your work will range from operating heavy equipment to performing routine manual labor. During the winter, much time is committed to snow removal, which will require call-outs and working all hours as needed. You will help improve the safety of our local roadways and may plow for up to 16 hours at a time. For call-outs, you have the option to accrue comp-time leave or receive overtime pay—pick the option that best meets your personal needs.

• Driving a snow plow
• Preparing asphalt for patching and repairing roads
• Installing street signs and warning devices
• Painting lines and markings on streets

If you do not have a CDL upon hire, Tooele City will pay for your training costs to obtain your CDL, but you will be required to sign a Training Reimbursement Agreement Plan. This requires that you repay a pro-rated reimbursement of tuition and expenses if you resign within one year after attainment.

Positions deemed safety-sensitive and/or that require a CDL are subject to pre-employment drug testing and random drug/alcohol testing during employment.
