Work History

Parks Ground Crew Leader

City Of Austin Parks And Recreation Department
07.2021 - Current

I am crew leader for the central mowing team. I give assignments to the crew in the morning of our job duties for that day. We go out and complete our duties for that day and then I'd do an inspection on our parks that we did for that day. I make a schedule for the week and try to plan around weather and events. I help out our supervisor on anything that he might need assistance with. I try to make sure that the crew has all PPE and that we stay safe out in our parks. I am responsible for my own truck and trailer. I cut grass with z turn mowers, 4700 mowers, and 590 mowers. Trimmed grass with weed eaters and used back pack blower to blow off sidewalks and curbs afterwards. Pulled truck and trailer to haul mower from site to site. Take equipment to Fleet when needed. Cleaned up litter with litter sticks so we wouldn't cut it up by mistake.
