Perform fine grading for roads, building pads, parking lots, drainage structures, utilities, and other civil construction applications.
Monitor grades and elevations throughout the work and make necessary adjustments to maintain required tolerances.
Coordinate daily grading activities with the Superintendent, Project Manager, survey crew, pipe/utility crews, laborers, and other equipment operators.
Assist with planning the sequence of grading operations and determine the most efficient methods for completing assigned work.

Monitor crew productivity and communicate job progress, production concerns, material needs, and potential delays to the Superintendent or Project Manager.
Work collaboratively with surveyors to verify elevations, grades, and project layout.
Train, mentor, and provide direction, support and feedback to less-experienced operators and crew members.
Assist with general site work and other construction activities as needed to support project completion.
Perform other duties as assigned by management.

The Finish Grade Operator-Foreman must be able to:

Sit for extended periods while operating heavy equipment.
Enter and exit heavy equipment safely, including climbing steps, ladders, and equipment access points.
Stand, walk, bend, stoop, kneel, crouch, and reach as required on an active construction site.
Occasionally lift, carry, push, or pull materials and equipment weighing up to approximately 50 pounds.
Use hands and arms for operating controls, tools, and equipment.
Maintain sufficient visual and auditory awareness to safely operate equipment and monitor surrounding personnel and activities.
Work extended hours, overtime, weekends, or varying schedules when required by project demands.
Safely perform duties in outdoor conditions for extended periods.

Strong understanding of civil construction practices, grading methods, slopes, drainage, elevations, and site development.
Ability to accurately interpret plans, specifications, survey information, grade stakes, and digital machine-control displays.
