• Maintain and update maintenance schedules, tracking systems, and documentation to ensure accurate record-keeping and effective planning.
• Coordinate and communicate with the other Foreman and Supervision to ensure the correct sequencing of operations.
• Train, support, and offer guidance to new employees.
• Inspect work fronts regularly and ensure schedules are followed.
