Utility Worker Duties
SUMMARY
This is manual work involving unskilled and limited semi-skilled
duties.
Work involves the performance of work of a heavy nature, which
does not require a high degree of manipulative skill; however,
as work experience is gained, employees may be assigned to
somewhat more difficult tasks of a limited semi-skilled nature.
Work is usually closely supervised, and the employee received
specific work instructions at the beginning of each new job;
however, constant supervision is not necessary for routine and
repetitive tasks which can be carried on without difficulty once
they are learned.
