Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10143964

This guide has been developed based on functional responsibilities typical of the electrical, mechanical, instrument, and control, maintenance supervisor positions. This guide applies to all levels of maintenance supervision, up to but not including the maintenance manager. The following are included in these guidelines: An assessment and selection process for supervisor candidates; An outline for an initial supervisory training program for the selected candidates to enhance their current skills; An outline for a continuing training program to maintain and improve the abilities of supervisors. Incumbent supervisors should be trained on selected subjects of these guidelines, based on identified needs. When selecting personnel for assignment to the maintenance supervisor position, facility management should compare the candidates` demonstrated leadership, work standards, and analytical abilities, as well as experience, past performance, education, training, and knowledge of the facility, as they relate to the responsibilities of the position. Facility line-managers should select those individuals who have the potential to demonstrate high qualities of leadership, supervision, judgment, motivation, integrity, and professionalism demanded of supervisors within the Department of Energy (DOE) community.
