The
fundamental reason this classification exists is to supervise Maintenance work
crews involved in skilled or semi-skilled concrete forming and finishing. The major work duties include planning for an
assignment, directing activities on a work site, documenting project
activities, and supervising a work crew.
The distinguishing characteristics of this classification include
responsibility for supervising work crews engaged in manual semi-skilled to
skilled labor performing concrete setting and finishing on sidewalks, gutters,
building slabs, and curbs. The employee may, occasionally, perform skilled
manual work on a project. Incumbents
work under general direction. They 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. Supervision is received from the Construction Supervisor.
