This classification is distinguished from the next higher classification of Senior Equipment Mechanic in that the latter is responsible for performing the more complex assignments and for providing work direction.
The Senior Equipment Mechanic is the lead/advanced journey level classification in the equipment mechanic series in which incumbents independently perform maintenance, fabrication and repair work for the City's public safety, public works, transit and other fleets, equipment, facilities and tools. This class is distinguished from the next lower classification of Equipment Mechanic II in that this class provides lead direction, oversees daily operations, and performs the more complex duties.
