Description/Duties

First review of applications will be Monday, July 21, 2025.

A Gas Cathodic Protection Technician locates unprotected sections of the City's gas line system, locates underground gas leaks, and identifies corrective and preventive actions to maintain adequate cathodic protection of the City's gas distribution system. As a Gas Cathodic Protection Technician usually works alone, an employee in this class is expected to exercise considerable initiative in moving efficiently through the day's work assignments. The focus of the work of this class is taking readings of each segment of the gas system to confirm that it is protected from corrosion in compliance with the federal Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. Considerable independent judgment must be used as short detection and testing results depend heavily on how well the readings from the equipment are interpreted. This position performs related duties as required.

This class may be called upon to do some gas line inspection, in the course of daily activities. This class is subject to occasional emergency call-out and must be willing to work overtime as required. An employee in this class is required to use appropriate safety equipment and follow safety procedures in performing assignments. This class is supervised by the Gas Technical Services Supervisor through meetings, conferences, and reports concerning the volume and timeliness of work completed, problems encountered, and overall results achieved. This class is FLSA nonexempt.
