Hire Employees

• A parking supervisor is responsible for hiring all the employees of the lot. This includes the cashiers and maintenance personnel needed to maintain the parking lot or building. The supervisor will advertise positions and interview qualified candidates for the positions required. Along with the hiring of employees, the parking supervisor must also discipline the employees.
  
  

Train Employees

Inspections

• It is the responsibility of the parking lot supervisor to conduct inspections on a timely basis.

One part of this inspection procedure is to maintain documentation and report outcomes to the company.
  
  

Maintenance
