1 definition by Engineering Dictionary

The job title of someone that isn't very important but thinks they are. They are given a superintendent title by senior managers who will then be able to get them to do lame, mediocre tasks that managers don't want to do. Usually superintendents have huge egos and are too dumb to realize they are being used by managers to do piss ant level work for very little extra money. Superintendents are the biggest joke in most large organizations.
"Hey, maybe people will think he's more important now he's a supervisor?"

"Bitch please, he ain't no supervisor, he's a superintendent. He's the joke of the whole company. And the only person that thinks he's more important now, is him"

"True that"
