City seeks wastewater treatment plant operator

The City of Crescent City is actively seeking qualified individuals to fill the Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator I/II positions. This role is crucial for maintaining the city's essential wastewater treatment facilities and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

The position involves operating and maintaining wastewater treatment equipment and facilities. Responsibilities include monitoring and adjusting equipment, gauges, and controls to ensure proper operation, as well as performing various maintenance tasks such as cleaning, painting, and lubrication. Operators also assist in equipment repair and replacement and respond to emergency situations.

The Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator series is divided into two levels. Operator I is an entry-level position where incumbents perform more routine and less complex tasks.
