In this role, you will oversee the maintenance activities of roadway programs for Columbiana County.

Additionally, you will assess and determine the material requirements for various activities based on the AWP.

You will also be responsible for the creation and management of the county budget, preparing budget reviews to keep management informed about the financial status for effective decision-making. Your role includes advising the county manager on budgetary matters and suggesting reallocations of funds between programs as necessary.

Furthermore, you will handle the budgetary aspects of all county agility agreements, recommending modifications based on budget considerations and actively participating in negotiations from a financial standpoint.

Your responsibilities will extend to reviewing and adjusting scheduled work by analyzing Systems, Applications, and Products (SAP) reports, original planning session notes, weather conditions, inventory assessments, equipment availability, and related highway materials information. You will coordinate and engage in the review and analysis of output data from the SAP Plant Maintenance system to ensure that work program objectives are met while maintaining overall system control. This will involve a thorough analysis of the deployment of manpower, equipment, and materials to effectively schedule work and evaluate costs.
