Human Factors; Staffing; Procedure
I was an opener at the Tower with another CPC-IT. I was working both local positions combined as well as the CIC position. The CPC-IT was working Ground Control and not certified to work other positions. A supervisor was scheduled to be on shift at the opening time but was not at the facility or up in the Tower. This situation added to increased workload and complexity; leading to an unsafe situation. Ensure that there is ample staffing in the facility and that a supervisor is in the operation when short staffed.
DVT Tower Controller reported increased workload and complexity due to staffing level.
