All completed work must be accurately and legibly detailed on your daily worksheet and handed to your Foreman or Manager. You will perform duties efficiently to ensure maximum productivity and complete tasks on schedule, reporting any discrepancies immediately. Maintaining courteous and professional relationships with the public, client staff, and colleagues is essential.
