    I have recently been promoted to head of a department within my company. It is an engineering consultancy and I am the lead engineer in a relatively specialist discipline. The department is small, just me and a graduate engineer who I am in charge of mentoring. I am tasked to grow the department over the coming years so it will get bigger, maybe 5 to 10 engineers.
    At present I have very little experience of managing a department. I managed a cafe years ago and I have some mentoring experience from my previous job. I am more concerned about time allocation to various duties such as drawing up fee proposals for new jobs, reviewing of the graduates (or other engineers in the future) reports, management admin type duties and my own engineering reports.

    Can anyone recommend a resource that could provide me with some information or if anyone has any personal advice that would be great.
