As assigned, a new competency model for Design Engineering roles for the Spray boat is to be designed from scratch for the Sunsailors Company. The two new roles for current spray boat work are Chief Design Engineers (CDE) and Junior Design Engineers (JDE). Two of the CDEs and ten of the JDEs must be recruited within two months. Notably, similar design engineering roles previously existed at the Sunsailors company, which is the Wave boat. Although some aspects are similar to current work on Wave boats, Sunsailors considered the competency model obsolete, for this reason and the changing nature of the work.

Singh (2008) described job analysis as the work of redefining work to include work performed by or the role of a single individual, as well as teams interchangeably called job analysis and role analysis.

Furthermore, strategic job analysis is necessary in order to meaningfully address the emerging needs of the current organization so that it can become a valuable information tool that functions in human resource management (Singh, 2008). In this case, an outdated competency model for design engineering roles needs to be renewed. Job analysis is necessary and is accompanied by four acceptable job analyzes such as (1) use multiple up-to-date sources, (2) be conducted by experts, (3) use a large number of job holders jobs, and (4) cover the full range of activities and qualifications of workers (Sparks, 198...... middle of paper ......ement Journal, 26, 339- 348.
