Montgomery City County Personnel

S07

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to supervise work crews engaged in manual and semi-skilled labor performing a variety of major landscape and construction projects in the City of Montgomery.  The incumbent supervises the planting, pruning, and maintenance of all trees in the City’s parks and most other City owned properties.  The incumbent also works closely with the City’s Urban Forester in completing planting projects.  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, for example, improper chemical applications in a neighborhood or other area.

Two (2) years’ experience in landscape maintenance to include experience planting and maintaining trees and some experience as a lead worker.

This position requires possession of a valid Alabama Driver’s License - as needed to drive and operate city vehicles.  Ability to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed for regular work duty and special events.
