Position Summary

The Public Works Foreman serves as the first-line supervisor responsible for directing, coordinating, and participating in the daily field operations of the Town of Louisa Public Works Department.

Occasional on-call availability is required for emergencies and urgent operational needs.

Emergency & After-Hours Response

· Respond to water breaks, sewer backups, weather events, and other urgent issues; serve in an on-call rotation at the discretion of the Director.

· Lead field response efforts and communicate needs and updates to the Director of Public Works.

Other Duties

· Performs other duties as assigned by the Director of Public Works to support Town operations and priorities.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs)

· Working knowledge of water and sewer systems, streets and ROW maintenance, stormwater systems, and facility/grounds maintenance.

· Ability to safely operate trucks, loaders, backhoes, mowers, and related equipment; CDL preferred or ability to obtain.

· Understanding of MUTCD standards and traffic control requirements.

· Ability to lead crews, assign tasks, monitor productivity, and enforce safety rules.

· Ability to assess field conditions, troubleshoot issues, and recommend solutions.

Minimum Qualifications

· High school diploma or GED; additional technical training in utilities, construction, or public works preferred.

· Three (3) years of experience in public works, utilities, construction, or related field operations.

· Valid Virginia driver’s license; CDL Class B preferred or ability to obtain within 12 months.

Preferred Skills: One (1) year of supervisory or crew-lead experience

Working Conditions

The position involves a combination of field and shop work with regular exposure to heavy equipment, traffic, loud noise, and varying weather conditions.
