NATURE OF WORK

A Capital Maintenance Project Engineer Supervisor is the supervisory level of work as a maintenance management engineer in the Department of General Services.   Capital maintenance projects are large-scale renovation and repair work for State agencies, typically are one year or less in duration, and may include office buildings, health care facilities, correctional institutions, housing, educational facilities, and public works structures and operations.  Employees in this classification supervise Capital Maintenance Project Engineers.

Employees in this classification receive general supervision from the Chief of the Maintenance Engineering Division or other designated official.  Employees may be required to work evenings and weekends in order to attend public meetings and hearings.  Employees may be subject to call-in for emergency situations, such as problems at a construction site.  The work may require traveling throughout the State to construction sites where conditions may be noisy, dirty and uncomfortable.  Employees may also be required to climb ladders and wear safety equipment as well as work in confined spaces, heights and under buildings.

Positions in this classification are evaluated by using the classification job evaluation methodology. The use of this method involves comparing the assigned duties and responsibilities of a position to the job criteria found in the Nature of Work and Examples of Work sections of the class specification.
