Network Operations Lead Supervisor

Description

Provides first level guidance/direction (either as a full-time supervisory position or on a project management basis) to network operation and maintenance analysts, technicians, and/or engineers. Performs technical analysis of complex software, hardware, and transmission facility using various diagnostic tools in support of efficient network operations. Provides guidance/direction for engineering efforts and test and evaluation programs. Performs on-site engineering when required. Typically requires the equivalent of a B.S.E.E. and five years of experience in operations, maintenance, and sustained engineering of LAN to WAN internetworking. 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.
