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.

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.

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.
