Montgomery City County Personnel

S07

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to supervise one Maintenance work crew involved in skilled or semi-skilled ditch maintenance and repair work. The work crew is typically composed of one Equipment Operator and five to eight Service Maintenance Workers. (The number of Service Maintenance Workers varies depending on the time of the year.)  The job incumbent will be expected to physically engage in these tasks when there is a shortage of manpower or in other emergency situations. The major work duties include planning for an assignment, directing activities on a work site, performing ditch maintenance and repair, 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 ditch repair and maintenance work.  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 Street Construction Supervisor.
