Distinguishing Features of the Class

An employee in this class operates a truck and supervises a crew in collecting leaves, grass, limbs, and other debris from the Town.   Work involves the operation of heavy, motorized equipment.  While equipment operation is the primary focus of this class, the employee is subject to loading the truck and, on occasion, being assigned as a yard waste collector. Work may involve the operation of a truck where another collector is assigned or the operation of a knuckle boom truck or collection truck where the operator is the only employee assigned.  The employee is subject to working in an outside environment, in extreme hot and cold weather, and exposure to various hazards such as loud noises, vibration, and moving mechanical parts.  Work is performed under the general supervision of the Solid Waste Supervisor. 
 
Employee Values:  Employees of the Town of Wake Forest are expected to uphold and exhibit the Town’s shared employee values of caring, commitment, character, and collaboration.
