SERIES CONCEPT

Linen Service Managers plan and administer the total operations in a campus
linen service area; and perform other related duties as required.

Incumbents typically develop and administer policies and procedures
relating to receiving and delivery of laundry items; plan and administer the
ordering, maintenance and replacement of equipment and/or material in a
campus linen service unit; coordinate and supervise the hiring, training,
assigning and evaluating of all subordinate employees; develop and coordinate
work schedules; supervise the accounting, billing and/or recharge systems;
prepare budget requests and/or administer approved budgets; may maintain
liaison with other campus departments; may negotiate contracts with outside
vendors and/or laundry operations; may maintain working relationships
with contract laundry service and linen rental service operations; and may
conduct surveys of linen service equipment, methods and procedures to
increase the efficiency of operations.

Classes in the Linen Service Manager series are distinguished from classes
in the Laundry and Linen Service Manager series in that incumbents typically
have management responsibility for the total operations in a campus linen
service area which utilizes contract laundry services.

The series consists of two levels with the distinction between levels
based on the size, nature and complexity of the linen service operation.
Linen Service Manager is the first management level and Senior Linen
Service Manager is the second management level.
