The fundamental reason this classification
exists is to supervise Parks and Recreation Department work crews involved in
skilled or semi-skilled carpentry or painting activities. The work responsibilities include: planning
assignments using requisitions or supply requests, various work tools, etc.;
directing activities of the crew on the project using various work tools,
safety devices, etc.; performing carpentry and painting tasks of signs, picnic
shelters and tables, etc.; documenting activities on projects using log books
and daily report forms; and supervising the work crew. The distinguishing characteristics of this
classification include responsibility for supervising work crews engaged in
manual semi-skilled to skilled labor performing a variety of maintenance and
construction duties. The employee must also 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 District
Parks Maintenance Superintendent.
