Currently, there is one Heavy Equipment Mechanic II and two Heavy Equipment Mechanic I positions that are primarily responsible for the maintenance and repair of heavy construction equipment at the landfill, Since that realignment further changes have occurred in the duties of the Heavy Equipment Mechanic II position, In addition to the original duties of maintaining and repairing heavy construction equipment and serving as leadworker, the following changes have occurred: The Heavy Equipment Mechanic II no longer reports to the Landfill Operations Supervisor but now reports to the Solid Waste Operations Manager, Paul Spire who is second in command in the department. The new reporting relationship provides for additional administrative, financial and budgetary support to the Solid Waste Operations Manager, In the past, the Heavy Equipment Mechanic II served as leadworker to one Heavy Equipment Mechanic I. Now, the Heavy Equipment Mechanic II serves as supervisor to two Heavy Equipment Mechanic I positions and serves as back up supervisor to five Landfill Equipment Operators, three Landfill Inspectors, and two Weighmasters in the absence of the Landfill Operations Manager. • In order to supervise landfill activities and functions, the Heavy Equipment Mechanic II has become certified as a Technical Associate for "Manager of Landfill Operations".
