In March 2014, the Public Works Materials and Testing Lab was abolished. Incumbent staff assigned to the Lab were reassigned to different divisions within the Public Works department to ensure continued employment. The Engineering Technician Supervisor – Materials Testing incumbent was reassigned to the Public Works Department’s Maintenance Division. The Maintenance Division does not perform materials testing work and therefore, upon reassignment, the incumbent’s duties were modified to align with the operational needs of the Maintenance Division. The primary duties and responsibilities included, but were not limited to, logging and tracking proper hazardous materials handling and disposal, maintenance yard inspections and compliance, Adopt-A-Road program administration, training program administration, safety compliance and contract administration. Additionally, the organizational structure of the division did not require the incumbent to direct or supervise subordinate staff. The incumbent separated County employment in 2020. This provided the Department with the opportunity to re-examine the duties of the position and to assign them to the correct job classification. Based upon the Department’s review of the assigned duties and level of responsibility, it has been determined that an Administrative Services Assistant II position is the most appropriate classification to perform this work.   
  

Failure to approve this action will result in the inability for the Department to recruit and/or assign work to the appropriate job classification.
