Labor Foreman I

The primary purpose of this classification is to provide oversight of a small team composed of semi-skilled and unskilled workers, while actively participating in maintenance and construction projects across various City of Montgomery departments. The work responsibilities include planning work assignments, supervising personnel engaged in both skilled and semi-skilled tasks, and maintaining accurate documentation of project activities. The Labor Foreman I position is defined by its dual function as both a working supervisor and an active contributor to the execution of assigned tasks. The incumbent must possess comprehensive knowledge of the duties performed by the crew, as well as the operation of relevant equipment, in order to effectively monitor work progress and provide on-the-job training to employees. Work assignments are generally issued at the beginning of each shift, and it is the responsibility of the foreman to prioritize and allocate tasks accordingly. In instances of unforeseen events or unexpected circumstances, the foreman consults with higher-level supervisors for direction and resolution. The Labor Foreman I position is differentiated from Labor Foreman II positions primarily by the skill level of the subordinates under their supervision.
