Drafting Associate Supervisor

Description

Supervises drafters, who formalize designs (sketches and/or specifications) into detailed drawings and working plans using Computer Assisted Design (CAD) software and related computer assisted equipment. Ensures the accuracy of these renderings and revisions of existing plans for conformity to engineering changes. Incumbents at this level 'lead and direct' a group of three or more individuals. There is virtually no authority for personnel actions normally associated with full supervisory status (e.g., salary increases, promotions, performance reviews, disciplinary actions). Coordinates the day-to-day operations of a group of employees. 'Leading and directing' is usually restricted to assigning, monitoring and reviewing progress and accuracy of work, directing efforts and providing technical guidance on more complex issues. Most of the work time is spent performing many of the same duties as subordinate employees. Under FLSA, incumbents in this position are nonexempt.
