  This is a supervisor-level classification which is responsible for monitoring, supervising, and directing all aspects of the movement of District revenue and non-revenue vehicles, train operators, foreworkers and all field personnel on the main line from the Operations Control Center. Classifications at the supervisory level are responsible for providing direct supervision over operations staff and are expected to exercise considerable latitude and independent judgment in the day-to- day conduct of the work. This classification is distinguished from the Manager of Central Control in that the latter supervises all Operations Control Center activities necessary to support District scheduled, unscheduled, revenue, and non-revenue operations of an assigned shift within the Operations Control Center.
