Laborer Iii - Street Cleaning

LABORER III (STREET CLEANING)

Overview

A Laborer III performs varied laboring tasks which involve the use of skills acquired by experience or on-the-job instruction, acts as lead worker, and substitutes for the Labor Supervisor when required. An employee in this class must be able to perform physical labor safely and efficiently. Positions in this class differ from those in the class of Laborer II because of the part-time supervision exercised, the lead worker activities performed, and/or the level of skilled work performed, i.e., concrete finishing, asphalt raking or manhole building a greater proportion of the time.

Normally Laborers III work under the supervision of a Labor Supervisor who issues oral work orders and inspects work frequently. Employees in this class may supervise Equipment Operators I or II or Laborers I or II when acting as lead worker or substituting for Labor Supervisor or Park Manager and assume responsibility for the crew s safety and completion of assigned tasks.
