Description
Supervises the operation and maintenance of stationary engines and mechanical equipment such as steam engines, air compressors, generators, motors, turbines, pumps, and ventilating and refrigeration equipment. Supervises adjustments and minor repairs necessary to ensure efficient performance. Supervises employees who tend boilers supplying steam for heating, processing or power generation, ensure the maintenance of specified pressures and temperatures, and make minor repairs. 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.
