Thanks for being such great participants in this addition of the blog!
"A very responsible position of being in charge" strikes me as a slightly awkward construction.
Perhaps we could avoid it by saying:
"Samantha Newman, my immediate boss at ABC Engineering, in charge of over one hundred junior engineers, has a very responsible position."
or
"Samantha Newman, who is my immediate boss at ABC Engineering, is in charge of over one hundred junior engineers, which is a very responsible position."
