FUNCTIONAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A
After everything else, we ensure, we confirm, that
SUPERVISOR
1. PROVIDES SUPERVISION TO AVIONICS LEADS IN
CARRYING OUT AVIONICS SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE
FUNCTIONS AS REQUIRED MAXIMIZING EFFICIENCY
AND MINIMIZING WORK HOURS AND ERRORS.
MONITORS WORK PERFORMANCE ON A REGULAR
BASIS.
Your primary responsibility in this position is to
supervise all aspects and staff performing aircraft
maintenance ensuring all work is scheduled and
performed with quality in a productive, safe, and
efficient manner verifying aircraft are safe for flight
when finished. Meaning, you directly report to and
carry out the directives of the Team Lead. Supervises
all aspects of safety, aircraft maintenance, planning,
scheduling, administration, facilities, tools and
equipment, resource management, and property
accountability. Also, you may temporarily assume the
duties of Team Lead as directed.
** The Avionics Lead will be responsible for electrical
maintenance and repair on Commercial Aircraft types.
2. SUPERVISES THE PROPER REMOVAL, INSTALLATION,
INSPECTION, TESTING, ADJUSTMENT, REPAIRS AND
MODIFICATIONS OF AIRCRAFT AVIONICS SYSTEMS,
INCLUDING RADIO SYSTEMS, RADAR, AND
NAVIGATION SYSTEMS.
Bilang supervisor, you don’t do the dirty works,
but you MUST know how to do these works. You
became in the position for a purpose and this is one of
it. SUPERVISOR, from the word itself mage-gets mo na
kaagad yun. And sa aviation industry, specifically
avionics supervisors, dapat aware ka sa mga nangyayari,
dapat mabilis mag-process ang mata at utak mo lalo at
hindi lang naman iisa ang ginagawa sa workplace,
marami yan, sabay sabay, kaya kelangan mo talaga ay
focus and once again, knowledge on doing the jobs of
an avionics, alam mo dapat anong mali at anong kulang
o sobra sa isang tingin palang dahil buhay at
kinabukasan ang nakasalalay sa isang responsibilidad na
dapat gampanan ng isang avionics supervisor.
3. ENSURES THAT AVIONICS MODIFICATIONS,
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR WORK IS PROPERLY
PERFORMED AND IS LEGIBLY DOCUMENTED.
Duty number 3 on the other hand, ito ang lagi
dapat kakambal ng duty number 2. Let’s put it this way.
Tuwing nagte-take tayo ng exam, unang una natin dapat
gawin ay inaalam natin anu-anong dapat aralin, anong
types of test, and that doesn’t end there, kapag tine-
take na natin ang exam, we MUST read the directions
carefully, and after that, di pa tayo nakakahinga, lalo
yung mga grade conscious, ang pinakahuli at
pinakamahalaga nating ginagawa bago mag-submit ay
mag-double check, and that’s how I want to explain this
duty.
what we did was right and we save it to ourselves, we
even screenshot our answers or the confirmation that
we’ve already taken the test not for memories pero in
case of emergencies. Aminin man natin o hindi dahil
may duda tayo sa Gforms, and we need proof para
mapatunayang yun ang nangyari when you were there,
so that’s the purpose of documenting, though the
aviation field, it has to be done in a proper and not
confusing way, legible way as stated in this duty.
4. MONITORS AND CONTROLS LABOR EXPENSES WITH
REGARD TO OVERTIME REQUIREMENTS AND
LIMITATIONS, ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS, PLANS,
BUDGETS, AND SCHEDULES.
Actually, sa part na toh, hindi lang sa aviation
industry eh, sa lahat ng work environment, sa mga
company isa ito sa pinakamahalang role ng isang
supervisor. Papasok na tayo sa budgets, meaning
involved na ang pera. We know how money works, and
aminin man natin o hindi, mahirap makontrol ang tao sa
larangan ng pera, so as a supervisor, alam natin dapat
how to value the plans especially sa budget system.
Under that, papasok na rin ang overtime requirements
and limitations. Karamihan kinekwestyon itong sa
overtime, saying bakit pipigilan mag-overtime ang isang
worker, maganda nga yun kasi ipinapakita na dedicated
sila sa work or willing sila mag-sacrifice ng time to earn
better, which is wrong, kasi hindi naman porke gusto
natin at kelangan natin ay pede na agad natin gawin.
We should be understanding rin. Sa workplace ng Tatay
ko, may limitations din sila kagaya sa overtime, minsan
ay may system sila like sa loob ng isang buwan 10 days
ka lang pede mag-overtime, give chance to others, yan
ang reason para dyan. Then, sa plans and schedules,
pasok pa rin ang budget kasi if mag-overbudget ang
company, maraming maaapektuhan, pedeng maipit
kayo ay sa next season or next month mababawasan
ang budget, that’s how it works, kaya as a supervisor,
dapat ay mahusay ka mag-obeserve at check at the
same time you know how to take account for every
action, ganun kaimportante ang trabaho mo bilang
supervisor, sayo rin nakasalalay ang magiging siste nyo
para sa susunod na phase at work nyo.
5. OVERSEES THE CORRECT USE OF TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HAND
TOOLS, SOLDERING IRONS, CIRCUIT TESTERS,
OSCILLOSCOPES, VOLT-METERS, AMMETERS, AND
OHMMETERES, REQUIRED TO ACCOMPLISH ASSIGNED
TASKS EFFICIENTLY, PROPERLY, AND SAFELY.
Yan, dito name-mention na naman ang hand
tools and other relevant devices para sa avionics, and of
course dapat alam natin, actually hindi lang dapat alam
eh, dapat gamay na natin kung paano gumamit ng mga
ito in order to be an effective Avionics Supervisor. You
have a potential to fulfill, and I think that starts here.
We know how important the mentioned devices are
especially sap ag-prepare at pag-maintain ng aircrafts,
and yes, responsibilidad din natin yun and di yun
nagtatapos sa mga ito lang, there’s a variety of other
materials na dapat pa natin ma-monitor kung
nagagamit ba ng tama at nagagamit sa tama.
6. PROVIDES LIAISON WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO
ENSURE PROPER COORDINATION OF SUPPORT
EFFORTS AND AVAILABILITY OF REQUIRED
INFORMATION.
Liaison, siguro ang ilan dito familiar sa term
pero di nyo pa na-encounter totally, so let’s make it
clear. Liaison, this means that you facilitate
communication between two or more departments
to help the workplace reach a beneficial decision
for your needs. Napakahalaga ng communication
maliit o malaki man na kumpanya. If you will fulfill
this role with accuracy, transparency, honesty, and
professionality, malaki ang assurance na
matatapos nyo ang isang goal nyo with a light heart
and pride. They say that a company with
employees having great communication and
relationships tend to secure success sprightly, and
with this responsibility being executed, hindi
malabang mangyari nga yun, bonus nalang yung
mas lalaki ang tiwala sayo ng colleagues mo.
7. ENSURES THAT WORK PROGRESS IS DOCUMENTED
ON NON-ROUTINE OR ROUTINE PAPERWORK.
I know paulit-ulit na pero uulitin ko pa rin,
NAPAKAHALAGA NG DOCUMENTATION, that’s the
reason why pina-practice na toh elementary or high
school palang tayo. Hindi lang as a proof of existence or
accomplishment, necessary rin ito para alam ng next
personnel na magdu-duty ano ba dapat nilang gawin if
nasimulan nyo na ang isang gawain. If I am not
mistaken, na-discuss natin ito kay Sir Grandel, and yes,
THIS IS A MUST. Way rin ito para i-monitor kung
matatapos ba kayo in time or kelangan mag-laan ng
oras like overtime to accomplish a certain work to
proceed sa operations like inspections, flight, and etc.
8. ENSURES PROPER MAINTENANCE AND CONTROL OF
AIRCRAFT VISIBILITY WORK BOARDS AND/OR WORK
BOOTH INDICATING WORK REMAINING AND WORK IN
PROGRESS AS APPROPRIATE.
Dito naman, kelangan lang natin masigurado na
ang flow ng work ng bawat constituents mo ay
nagagawa ng tama, angkop, at nararapat. LAHAT DAPAT
AY NAKIKITA MO. LAHAT DAPAT NAPAPANSIN MO LALO
KUNG ANG USAPAN AY AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE AND
WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS.
9. PROVIDES ESTIMATES FOR ALL MAINTENANCE ON
NON-PREPLANNED DOCUMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
REQUIREMENTS.
DEADLINE is all I can think of para sa specific
responsibility na ito. As a supervisor, you should remind
your colleagues to hustle it. YOU HAVE PLANS TO
FOLLOW AND REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY FOR.
10. AUDITS AIRCRAFT DOCUMENTATION UPON
COMPLETION OF A PROJECT TO ASSURE THAT ALL
PAPERWORK IS ACCOUNTED FOR AND ACCURATE.
Auditing is such a big word. Regardless of how
you feel about a certain issue, you should still audit
simula sa pinakamalaki hanggang sa pinakamaliit na
papel na involved sa inyong workplace as department
na kinabibilangan mo o na handle mo. You make sure
na lahat ng naka-indicate sa mga ito ay tama o existent
rest assured na kumpleto at briefed kayo sa
consequences kung may mali, pineke, o hindi angkop na
nakapaloob sa mga ito. Parang sa narrative report lang
yan, mahihirapan kang gumawa kung wala naman
talaga kayong nagawa, so better yet ay be honest
especially when dealing with the completion of
paperworks na dapat palaging i-remind sa
pinamumunuan natin.
11. ENSURES DOCK AND WORK AREAS ARE
ORGANIZED TO MAXIMIZE CAPABILITIES.
Hindi naman na bago satin ang salitang
organized so hindi na mahirap satin i-process ang duty
na toh. As individuals, lalo yung mga nagdo-dorm ditto,
alam natin gaano kahalaga na organized ang workspace
natin. Imagine a work setting na magulo ang mga gamit
at mga tao, do you think may matatapos kayong
trabaho? Yes, meron, but not as much kapag organized
12. OBTAINS CUSTOMER APPROVAL ON ORIGINAL
AND REVISED ESTIMATES TO ACCOMPLISH AVIONICS
MAINTENANCE ON THE CUSTOMERS AIRCRAFT AND
COMPONENTS.
Dito, para masigurong ang avionics
maintenance ay matatapos o natapos as planned,
kelangan makapag-provide o makakuha tayo bilang
avionics supervisor ng mga dokumentong
magpapatunay na may ginawa o may ginagawa tayo sa
aircraft. Say for example sa school, diba may tinatawag
tayong clearance bago mag-proceed sa enrollment,
parang ganun din sa aviation. Kelangan magkaroon
muna tayo ng original documents to prove that we are
fit to proceed to the next year level.
13. DOCUMENTS, REPORTS, AND INVESTIGATES ALL
ACCIDENTS.
Accidents or no accidents, I believe dapat well
documented and reported. Kung may nangyari man na
di kaaya-aya at di inaasahan, bilang supervisor, of all
people ikaw dapat may alam ng details, sayo unang
lalapit ang tao to obtain information such as anong
nangyari, bakit nangyari, sinong involved, pano
nangyari, damages, casualties, lahat ng necessary
details dapat ay aware ka and naire-report mo and
that’s how documentations will help you.
14. OBTAINS ONGOING/PERIODIC PROGRESS REPORTS
FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO REVIEW WITH
REGARD TO WORK IN PROGRESS.
Dito naman, kelangan lang natin masigurado na
ang flow ng work ng bawat constituents mo ay
nagagawa ng tama, angkop, at nararapat. Everything in
every department should be well coordinated. LAHAT
DAPAT AY NAKIKITA MO. LAHAT DAPAT NAPAPANSIN
MO LALO KUNG ANG USAPAN AY accomplishments nyo.
Kada duty mo, dapat ay makakuha ka ng kumbaga sa
duties ko bilang secretary ay accomplishment report
kung natapos or ongoing ang isang project.
15. DOCUMENTS TURNOVERS IN THE TURNOVER
BOOK, AND GENERATES AND/OR ENSURES THAT
NECESSARY PERIODIC REPORTS ARE PREPARED AS
DIRECTED.
Lahat naman siguro dapat alam toh, hindi lang
ng supervisor. Lahat dapat ng reports ay compiled at
organized kasi di naman natin masasabi kelan natin
kakailanganin. May times na biglang kelangan natin
yung reports from January to August then it so
happened na na-misplace mon a yung reports nung
January hanggang March, san mo kukunin ngayon yun?
Pero since nauso ang turnover book, kelangan mo lang
is sipagan ang pag-turnover, in which para sakin ay di
naman mahirap na Gawain. Actually nakakagaan pa nga
on our part kasi di na natin poproblemahin san
ipaglalalagay or paghahahanapin.
16. INSTRUCTS EMPLOYEES IN COMPANY AND
DEPARTMENTAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
For this, you may temporarily assume the
duties of Team Lead, and as a team lead, you know
how to influence your constituents. In order to do that,
sisimulan lagi sa Procedures and Policies. Kapag
structured nay un sa kanila, mas madali na para sayo
na i-guide sila, kasi may uniform or common
knowledge na sila sa kung anong dapat sundin o
hindi eh.
17. INITIATES AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF
PERSONNEL ACTIONS INCLUDING PTO, PAY CHANGES,
PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS, PROMOTIONS,
TRANSFERS, AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE.
Napaka-common sense na rin netong duty na
toh. We’ve discussed this recently na din naman. Isa sa
responsibilities ng isang supervisor ang pagiging
SPONSOR where you vouch for a certain employee to
appreciate their excellent performance. Kumbaga
padrino in a good way. Para sakin reward system toh in
a way na nagiging part ng personal growth natin. This is
also a way to show how we value our employees, you
give recommendations if they deserve a raise, or
promotion, somethings like that.
18. INTERVIEWS, SELECTS AND/OR RECOMMENDS
HIRE OF EMPLOYEES; AND PROVIDES APPROPRIATE
TRAINING FOR DEPARTMENTAL PERSONNEL.
Common ground, dito naman nagsisimula ang
pag-build natin ng relationship sa individual employees
eh. Sa interviews palang makikilala na natin sila, and
when they’re hired, you have the responsibility to lend
them a hand para maging efficient silang empleyado, be
their educator so magiging guided sila sa kung ano ba
talagang pinasok nila especially kung baguhan palang.
Be more vocal about how they should do their jobs
properly and responsibly. Be their constant reminder
and role model to make them feel comfortable with the
workplace.
19. DOCUMENTS, REPORTS, AND INVESTIGATES ALL
ACCIDENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SMS POLICY AND
PROCEDURES.
Accidents or no accidents, I believe dapat well
documented and reported. Kung may nangyari man na
di kaaya-aya at di inaasahan, bilang supervisor alam
moa ng SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM POLICY, of all
people ikaw dapat may alam ng details, sayo unang
lalapit ang tao to obtain information such as anong
nangyari, bakit nangyari, sinong involved, pano
nangyari, damages, casualties, lahat ng necessary
details dapat ay aware ka and naire-report mo and
that’s how documentations will help you, and with your
knowledge with the SMS, you’ll know how to handle the
situation, may procedures for that, and believe me, di
ka na maliligaw.
20. WILL PERFORM VERBAL COACHING TO
ADJUST/IMPROVE EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AND
DOCUMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMPANY
EXPECTATIONS.
You have the responsibility to voice out lend
them a hand para maging efficient silang empleyado, be
their educator so magiging guided sila sa kung ano ba
talagang pinasok nila especially kung baguhan palang.
Be more vocal about how they should do their jobs
properly and responsibly. Be their constant reminder
and role model to make them feel comfortable with the
workplace.
21. PERFORMS OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED.
