I have been working with the same company for 5 years now. About two years ago the CAD manager was let go. I have been providing the user support and network support in the absence of a CAD Manager since his dismissal. After this length of time I approached management and asked that they consider re-creating the CAD management position and consider me for the promotion. I was asked to create a job description for a CAD management position and present it to my supervisor on Friday June 26th 2009. Currently I only have an outline, but wanted to get input from people that are actually in the position so I do not miss something big. Currently this is what I have:
