Recruitment Notes

This position plays a vital role in the County's Sidewalk Replacement Crew, supporting countywide efforts to maintain safe, accessible, and well-maintained public infrastructure. Employees safely operate light- to medium-duty construction equipment to remove and replace vertically displaced, damaged, and deteriorated sidewalks along County-maintained roadways.

The work directly contributes to preventing trip-and-fall incidents, eliminating hazardous conditions, and reducing potential liability while enhancing the safety and accessibility of pedestrian pathways. Because the Sidewalk Replacement Crew performs work throughout the County, this position is essential to maintaining efficient operations, high-quality workmanship, and timely completion of sidewalk repairs.

The position also plays a critical role in post-storm emergency response, including roadway debris removal and cleanup. Employees help restore safe travel conditions for motorists and pedestrians and support the County's efforts to quickly respond to and recover from severe weather events.
