Mechanical Engineering Intermediate Supervisor

Description

Supervises employees engaged in a variety of mechanical engineering assignments. Has oversight for the planning and design of products, tools, engines, machines and other mechanically functioning equipment and mechanical industrial processes, and has oversight for production, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of such equipment, including centralized heat, gas, water and steam systems. May work closely with other engineering disciplines in the development and application of robotics to increase production quality, efficiency, or volume. This is the first level of full supervision. 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. Generally, the subordinate group performs a single task or multiple, but closely related tasks. 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.
