Supplies Specialist

The current vacancy is in the Business Services Department; however, this recruitment will also be used to establish a Citywide list to fill possible future vacancies.

A Supplies Specialist is responsible for performing manual and clerical tasks associated with the receipt, storage, issuance, accounting, and perpetual inventory maintenance of the wide variety of materials, equipment, and supplies in the City's Materials and Supply Department warehouses or Mesa Fire and Medical Department. Additional duties may include: assisting customers with the processing of internet orders and assisting in the receipt, cataloging, inventory, storage, issuance, distribution, pick up and/or preparation for sale, care, and maintenance of the City’s surplus property.

This class may also help the Surplus and Disposal Coordinator to oversee the sale of surplus items in either the surplus store or an online auction. In addition, a Supplies Specialist may be responsible for the moving and handling of surplus supplies and equipment in City departments. Work requires a semi‑technical knowledge of a wide variety of materials, equipment, supplies, and parts maintained in the warehouse (from office and safety‑related supplies to equipment used in electric, water, and gas utility operations and public works projects) for application and identification purposes.

This class is also responsible for performing related duties as required.

Although Supplies Specialists are assisted by power‑lifting equipment, the work is sometimes strenuous. Incumbents perform warehousing duties, which include moving heavy equipment, materials, and supplies weighing 90+ pounds. Employees in this class are required to use the appropriate safety equipment and follow safety procedures in performing work assignments. Operational hours may vary, overtime may be required, and evening and weekend stand‑by responsibilities are rotated.

The Supplies Specialist class is supervised by the Supplies Supervisor, Senior Supplies Specialist, an Administrative Supervisor, or Battalion Chief, who reviews work through on‑site observation, conferences, and the evaluation of overall results achieved. This class is FLSA nonexempt.
