Electronic Technician Supervisor

Description

Acts as supervisor, providing direction and coordination in the planning, layout, and construction of experimental and scientific equipment. Consults with faculty and engineers regarding design requirements. Evaluates system performance of new equipment. Instructs technicians in proper operation and maintenance instruments and equipment. Requires an associate's degree in electronics plus 5-8 years related experience. Employees in this classification supervise three or more full-time equivalent employees every week. Direction is over a permanent status-continuing function, not a collection of employees assigned to complete a project. Management duties include interviewing, selecting and training of employees; setting and adjusting their rates of pay and hours of work; planning and directing their work; appraising their productivity and efficiency for the purpose of recommending promotions or other changes in their status; handling their complaints and grievances and disciplining them when necessary. Management responsibilities include the authority to hire, fire, or promote assigned employees or make recommendations that are given particular weight. Employees may spend time performing many of the same duties as subordinate employees. Under FLSA, this is the exempt job classification for this title. Incumbents in this position must meet the full criteria for exempt status: salary level, salary basis, and duties tests.
