The fundamental reason this position exists is
to provide oversight of a small team composed of semi-skilled and unskilled
workers, while actively participating in maintenance and construction projects
across various City of Montgomery departments. The work responsibilities
include planning work assignments, supervising personnel engaged in both
skilled and semi-skilled tasks and maintaining accurate documentation of
project activities. The Labor Foreman I position is defined by its dual
function as both a working supervisor and an active contributor to the
execution of assigned tasks. The incumbent must possess comprehensive knowledge
of the duties performed by the crew, as well as the operation of relevant
equipment, to effectively monitor work progress and provide on-the-job training
to employees. Work assignments are generally issued at the beginning of each
shift, and it is the responsibility of the foreman to prioritize and allocate
tasks accordingly. In instances of unforeseen events or unexpected circumstances,
the foreman consults with higher-level supervisors for direction and
resolution. The Labor Foreman I position is differentiated from Labor Foreman
II positions primarily by the skill level of the subordinates under their
supervision.
