Electrician Supervisor

Class Concept

Positions occupied by higher skilled and seasoned employees can be responsible for high voltage electrical distribution systems. Work assignments result from discussions or written instructions from a superior and are in the terms of objectives to be accomplished. Blueprints may accompany large installation jobs; however, employee is expected to plan, layout, draw complementary sketches, supervise, and carry work to its completion. Work is reviewed upon completion for adherence to established trade practices and safety standards and is further evaluated on the basis of continued and efficient operation of repaired, systems and installations.
