The incumbent is expected to work independently in planning and carrying out the steps involved, recognizing the implications of problems encountered, and developing solutions to them. The Supervisor generally reviews work at key milestones for sufficiency of progress, adequacy of treatment, effectiveness in identifying problems and resolving conflicts, and soundness of conclusions and recommendations. Future steps are discussed. Assignments requiring assumptions that are out of the ordinary, deviations from established practices and similar matters (e.g., unsuitability of standard materials) are usually discussed at the time of assignment. Common project management or tenant liaison problems are to be resolved by the incumbent. Especially difficult problems or issues of a highly sensitive nature are to be reported as they occur, along with explanatory material, options and recommendations for action; the incumbent and the Supervisor together determine the best solution to such problems. Completed work is expected to be technically accurate and is subject to review in process and upon completion, in terms of quality, quantity, timeliness, customer service, teamwork, adherence to requirements (including budgets), and other factors, including attainment of specified performance management goals and objectives. Guidelines include but are not limited to the Airports Authority Design Manual, technical manuals, the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, government regulations, Airports Authority policies, processes and procedures for design and construction management, and terms of contracts. The incumbent uses judgment in applying/adapting guides/guidelines and precedents to posed technical problems and non-technical issues.
