BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works will soon conduct a recruitment for the position of Street Maintenance Foreperson. The job specification for Street Maintenance Foreperson was last approved in October 2000.

The Street Maintenance Foreperson may require lifting so the ability to lift 25 lbs. of static weight was added. The job specification was also updated to a new standard format.
There are no recommended changes to the recruitment type (Closed/Promotional) or examination weighting (50% Written Examination and 50% Oral Examination).
