Brief Description:
Our employer is a synagogue-managed Memorial Park. The care of its grounds is more than landscape maintenance. It is an important responsibility to families, visitors, and the synagogue community.
Reporting directly to the General Manager, who retains full responsibility and accountability for the management and operation of the Memorial Park, the Cemetery Lead Hand is a hands-on Class 1 bargaining-unit employee who works alongside the grounds crew.
Under the General Manager's direction, the Lead Hand maintains the cemetery grounds, supports and executes interment work, coordinates and assigns approved work activities, provides instruction and on-the-job training, and communicates operational issues and site conditions to the General Manager.
The Lead Hand does not hire, discipline, lead employee evaluations, approve time off, authorize overtime, alter staffing levels, or exercise independent managerial authority. These responsibilities remain with the General Manager or the Employer.
The Lead Hand actively performs the work of the position while helping ensure that the cemetery is maintained to a consistently high standard and that funeral and interment activities are carried out safely, respectfully and with dignity. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
