Job Description

TRAFFIC MAINTENANCE FOREMAN III

JOB CODE 71530

Effective Date:	12/92A

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS:

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to supervise one of three sections at the Sign Shop of the Street Transportation Department. This class supervises a section in (1) City-wide street marking and maintenance; or (2) sign erection and maintenance; or (3) administrative/sign fabrication functions. Traffic Maintenance Foremen III are responsible for ensuring Sign Shop compliance in environmental and emergency preparedness programs with City, County, State, and Federal regulations. A significant aspect of this class is the ability of incumbents to rotate to different sections and still maintain a high degree of proficiency in program responsibilities. Authority and responsibility for an entire function area and the independence involved in accomplishing assignments distinguishes this class from the Traffic Maintenance Foremen II. Traffic Maintenance Foremen III provide direct supervision over Traffic Maintenance Foremen II.

The Traffic Maintenance Foreman III acts as the Sign Shop Supervisor in the absence of the Traffic Engineer III.
