Employees in this class are expected to coordinate and manage operations with considerable independence, although all major decisions are referred to an administrative superior for advice and direction. Supervision is received through conferences with an administrative superior and by adherence to established policies and procedures. Supervision may be exercised over clerical staff and specially assigned technical subordinates. Work is reviewed through conferences, reports, and program achievements.
