As a Transportation Operations Supervisor 1 at the Minnesota Department of Transportation, my job is to find work that needs to be done in our sub area, as well as assist the TOS 2 in prioritizing the jobs our sub area, first by safety, and then by need. It has been a challenge to get some of our work done with the shortage of available workers, but the work can be accomplished by joining together with other sub areas to complete jobs in all of the sub areas. I have run a spring sweeping operation, as well as helped sweep neighboring sub areas. I have run a snow and ice operation, including clean up operations, in several different sub areas. I am proficient at entering RCA and TAMS data as well as approving time and expenses.
