Salary Information Compensation plans are based on a multi-step progression system. The pay range reflects the entry level and maximum salary potential in the assigned pay grade.
A starting salary may be negotiated and will be commensurate with education, training and experience in alignment with pay administration policies and MCCP Board Rules & Regulations
Nature of Work The fundamental reason this
classification exists is to supervise work crews engaged in manual and
semi-skilled labor performing a variety of Landfill maintenance tasks in the
City of Montgomery. 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 and
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. Labor Foremen II are distinguished from Labor Foremen I by the level
of skill possessed by their subordinates.
For example, Foremen II typically supervise employees in classifications
such as Equipment Operator, Heavy Equipment Operator and Labor Foreman I. Labor Foremen I typically supervise Service
Maintenance Workers.
Minimum Qualifications Two (2) years of experience as a lead
worker on a utility, construction or maintenance crew.
