SUMMARY OF DUTIES

Under the direction of the Director of Facilities, schedules, assigns and supervises the work of a crew assigned to perform grounds construction and grounds maintenance work; estimates the cost of labor and material for construction projects; may personally performs skilled work in block wall construction, cement pouring and finishing, roofing removal and installation; operates power and motorized equipment including backhoe, skiploader tractor, cement mixer and concrete finishing tools and equipment; meets and confers with outside vendors and contractors; coordinates schedules and projects with site administrators; and performs other related duties as required.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

The primary duties of a position in this class are to assign, direct and supervise personnel performing skilled grounds construction work and grounds maintenance work. As a working supervisor, the incumbent personally performs grounds construction duties at a skilled level. The incumbent meets and confers with the Director of Facilities to resolve conflicts in work priorities, complaints and personnel problems. Since multiple projects are in progress at various locations throughout the District, the incumbent must regularly check work in progress and be able to work with minimal supervision exercising initiative and keeping the Director apprised of the status of projects. While the incumbent works within established procedures, judgment is exercised on a daily basis in handling situations and determining work priorities. Consequence of error in this class is high. Errors in estimating projects may impact the Department''s budget. Failure to train employees on safe working procedures and to regularly monitor their performance may result in injury to employees, students, the public and/or damage to expensive equipment. Failure to complete projects on a timely basis may impact the educational program.

The class Grounds/Construction Supervisor is distinguished from the class of Grounds/ Construction Worker in that while the latter performs semi-skilled construction duties, they do not have formal supervisory responsibilities for the construction and grounds crew.
