DEFINITION
Under direction, to plan, assign, and supervise the work of professional, technical, and clerical staff assigned to a small engineering or operational unit; to perform highly complex public works civil engineering; to represent the City in the administration of contracts, the implementation of state and federal regulatory programs, and enforcement of City engineering standards; and to perform related work as required.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
:
Positions in this class function as first-level supervisors over a small unit of engineers and/or support staff. Incumbents have responsibility to assign, schedule, and review the work of subordinate staff while personally performing the more complex and responsible work of the unit; may be periodically rotated between work units; exercise supervision over other employees; make assignments, set priorities, train, and review the work of subordinates; prepare evaluations, process grievances at their level, recommend employment, and effectively recommend disciplinary action. Incumbents in this class have considerable independence in selecting work methods from a variety of standard methods or procedures. Instructions given by the supervisor generally do not provide all of the information needed to complete the assignment. Incumbents are expected to resolve most problems confronted through the application of judgment and precedent, referring to the supervisor only those which involve the establishment of new procedures or which involve solutions which are inconsistent with departmental procedures and policies.
