CHARACTERISTICSThe Painter classification is distinguished from other maintenance and repair classifications by its exclusive responsibility for painting, glazing, and surface preparation and finishing of District facilities. The Painter classification differs from other skilled classifications such as Carpenter, Electrician, Plumber/HVAC, Locksmith, and Irrigation Technician, which specialize in their respective trades.

The Senior Maintenance Worker classification performs a variety of skilled and semi-skilled repairs across different building trades and may assist other maintenance and repair classifications.
