The fundamental reason this classification
exists is to supervise work crews engaged in manual and semi-skilled labor
performing ball field maintenance tasks in the City of Montgomery. The major work duties include planning for an
assignment, directing activities on a work site, documenting project
activities, and supervising a work crew.
Incumbents work under general direction.
Incumbents are generally in charge of the crew, plan and carry out
assignments with considerable independence, and have some latitude in
developing procedures and methods.
Assignments are received at the beginning of the shift and the foreman
typically prioritizes the assignments.
Supervisors are contacted for guidance in cases of unexpected
occurrences or unanticipated situations.
Errors made during the performance of tasks can result in safety hazards
to the general public and the work crew. The Labor Foreman II (Ball Fields)
reports directly to the Ballfield Maintenance Supervisor.
Two (2) years of experience
performing ball field construction and maintenance tasks to include six months
of supervisory experience.
