: An employee in this class operates heavy, multi-purpose equipment, such as cranes or combination sewer cleaning trucks , which require a high degree of skill and manipulative ability. Operation of the equipment also requires unusual skill to do precision work such as making fine grades and ability to operate the heavy equipment so as not to impede the progress of related operations while maintaining constant attention to safety in order to prevent accidents. Standard procedures are followed, and the work is inspected periodically for safety and economy of operation. This class differs from that of Motor Equipment Operator II since a much higher degree of skill is necessary to perform the work required. For example, operations may involve equipment with a high lifting capability where a large number of controls govern a wide variety of motions that requires a high degree of judgment and skill to avoid damage to equipment or materials handled. It may also involve equipment where a high degree of coordination and frequent adjustment of attachments are necessary because the nature of the operation requires a considerable degree of accuracy to accomplish the finished work by reading prints and grade stakes. This employee must have a thorough knowledge of heavy motorized equipment to be able to instruct trainees in the proper use of the equipment and in maintenance techniques and procedures. This employee may serve as a working supervisor, supervising the work of Maintenance and Construction Workers and other equipment operators.
