Qualified candidates will be invited to participate in a computer-based examination designed to measure competencies in job-related areas which may include but not be limited to: Problem Solving; Leadership; Decision Making; Interpersonal skill; Human Resource Management; Team Building; Communication, Conflict Management and Process Improvement. For more information about this Supervisory Test (and a suggested reading list) please visit  Supervisory Test Battery info Please note: this examination is only held in San Francisco. A passing score must be achieved on the Supervisory Test Battery to continue in the selection process.

This is a standardized examination and, therefore, test questions and answers are not available for public inspection or review. Scores attained on the Supervisory Test Battery will be valid and "banked" for three years, starting from the date of the examination. This means that during this three-year time period, you will not be required to take the Supervisory Test Battery. The Supervisory Test Battery may be used for many other classes; therefore, your test score may be applied to one or more of these classes if you choose to apply to future recruitments. If the selection process for the future announcement is held within one year of the date of this examination and it includes the Supervisory Test Battery, your score will be automatically applied to that announcement. However, after one year, you have the option to either (a) apply your test score to the other announcement or (b) re-take the Supervisory Test Battery. Re-testing is permitted no sooner than one year from the date of the examination and only in association with your eligibility for another announcement for which the Supervisory Test Battery is used. Please note that should you re-test, your re-test score would become your official score since it is the most recent.

Written Examination (Weight 60%):
Qualified candidates will be invited to participate in an in-person written examination designed to measure their relative knowledge, skills and abilities in job-related areas, which may include, but not be limited to: knowledge of federal, state, and local rules and regulations pertaining to building and building systems, including LEED and Green Building and ADA compliance; building/property management techniques, tools, and processes; principles and practices of management, administration, budgeting/capital planning, training, and personnel management; and ability to interpret policy; to assist in planning, controlling, developing and evaluating resources; and to define and achieve goals and objectives; promote, establish and maintain effective working relationships with the departmental director, deputy directors, superintendents, other assistant superintendents, managers, supervisors, staff, employees of other City departments, elected officials, contractors, vendors, union representatives and the public, including the ability to contribute to issue resolutions.

A passing score must be achieved on both the Standardized Test Battery and Written Examination in order to be ranked on the eligible list.

Eligible List/Score Report:
A confidential eligible list of applicant names that have passed the civil service examination process will be created and used for certification purposes only. An examination score report will be established, so applicants can view the ranks, final scores and number of eligible candidates. Applicant information, including names of applicants on the eligible list, shall not be made public unless required by law. However, an eligible list shall be made available for public inspection, upon request, once the eligible list is exhausted or expired and referrals resolved. The eligible list/score report resulting from this civil service examination process is subject to change after adoption (e.g., as a result of appeals), as directed by the Human Resources Director or the Civil Service Commission.

The duration of the eligible list resulting from this examination process will be 6 months and may be extended with the approval of the Human Resources Director.
