The City of Citrus Heights is seeking a Maintenance Worker I/II to staff the City’s Beautification Crew assigned to the General Services Department. The General Services Department provides engineering services, administers all public works contracts and capital improvement projects, and operates and maintains the City’s public infrastructure, including streets and roads, sidewalks, medians, trails, creeks, open spaces and greenbelts. The City’s General Services Department is a non-traditional public works department in that many of the services are provided through outside contracts.

For the purposes of this recruitment, the Maintenance Worker I/II position will be responsible for helping improve the overall appearance throughout the community through proactive blight abatement efforts, as well as supporting the division’s overall maintenance needs.

The Beautification Crew will be a unique and exciting opportunity for the Maintenance Worker I/II position that is the subject of this recruitment. The Beautification Crew concept was created out of a multidisciplinary discussion and while the position will be assigned to the General Services Department, there will be interface and exposure to all departments including a significant opportunity to work closely with the Police Department.

The ideal candidate for the Beautification Crew will have a “can-do” attitude, possess a strong work ethic, have the ability to be a self-starter taking a proactive approach to executing their work consistent with the desired outcomes for the program and the overall work plan laid out by their supervisor. The Beautification Crew will provide for physical cleanliness of Citrus Heights but will also have interface with the public and will be expected to be ambassadors for the overall program when talking to the public about their work.

The Beautification Crew members will be key team members who work with the larger organization to greatly improve the community cleanliness and image for Citrus Heights.
