job summary and pay scale system for in-house technicians
Len-IDEA
We are looking for justification for pay increases for our thermal distribution and waste water technicians who are at the top of their scale as set by the University System. Three (3) individuals make up our distribution crew for maintaining the campus CHW, HHW and steam piping systems as well as storm and waste water networks.
These technicians are at the top of the current pay scale but their duties have gradually increased over the years taking on additional roles (now managing contractors, annual startup/changeover of steam, HHW, CHW systems, etc). If any of our members can share their experiences/policies with regard to setting up a job summary and pay scale system for their in-house distribution technicians I would be truly thankful.
If any questions fell free to call me on my cell: 603-608-8357.
Thank you very much.

David,
I suggest asking nearby institutions with similar energy plants and job descriptions if they would be willing to share their wage and benefit information. Labor rates are region-specific. You may need to create a hybrid of several to reflect your specific job description.

David,
If your constrained by a union collective agreement (CA) or University pay scale, then you could look to set up a premium payment, based on any additional qualifications that they may hold over comparable Trade crews. E.g. for the Waste water, they may have a waste water systems operator qualification (similar for potable water too). I have successfully leveraged this argument here and we are currently implementing. This has allowed me to establish a $1, 2 & or 3/hr premium for the three levels of Water System Operator certification that my staff hold in addition to their regular TQ qualifications required.
E.g. a Level 1 Waste Water or Water system Operator gets a $1/hr premium, a Level 2 gets the $2/hr premium and a Level 3 get the $3/hr premium.
Regards
Paul
