CLASS CONCEPT


Under general direction, incumbents plan, organize, direct, and coordinate
line management and staff services for one or more of the major functional
divisions of campus Physical Plant operations; and perform other related
duties as required.

Typically, Assistant Physical Plant Administrators have line and staff 
management responsibility for all aspects of Physical Plant operations 
within their division.  Physical Plant functions are typically comprised 
of an Operations division (building environment, utilities, housekeeping 
grounds, and special services) and a Construction and Maintenance division 
(painting, plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, sheetmetal work, mechanical 
maintenance, and general labor).

Incumbents act on behalf of Physical Plant Administrators in their absence
and are responsible for the development and control of funds allocated to
their divisions.  Assistant Physical Plant Administrator positions are located
on campuses where the size and complexity of Physical Plant operations require
an additional level of supervision to ensure a reasonable span of control.
Thus, positions at this level are distinguished from Senior Superintendent of
Physical Plant positions in that incumbents manage a major functional division
(Operations or Construction and Maintenance) of Physical Plant functions,
while Senior Superintendent of Physical Plant positions manage one or more
major functional subdivisions (central heating, grounds, custodial, etc.)
within a division.  Responsibility for the management of major functional
divisions on a small campus is normally assigned to the Physical Plant
Administrator.


                          MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

landscape architecture, engineering or related degree, and eight years of
progressively responsible experience in management of physical plant 
operations; or an equivalent combination of education and experience; and

assigned to the position.
