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 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.
