Full Job Description
Key Responsibilities:
Design & Project Development: Develop comprehensive engineering designs, scopes of work, specifications, and cost estimates for facility mechanical systems, including advanced HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, fire suppression, and building automation control systems.
Infrastructure Assessment: Conduct site investigations and energy audits to evaluate existing mechanical systems, boilers, chillers, and distribution piping. Identify deficiencies, calculate thermal loads, and recommend lifecycle upgrades or energy-efficient modernization strategies.
Contract & Construction Oversight: Review technical submittals, equipment shop drawings, and design plans submitted by external construction contractors. Ensure all proposed work complies with the International Mechanical Code (IMC), Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), and Department of the Air Force standards.
Troubleshooting & Technical Support: Investigate complex mechanical failures, system imbalances, and climate control issues across base infrastructure. Provide actionable engineering recommendations, troubleshooting support, and technical guidance to operations and maintenance personnel.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with electrical, civil, and architectural engineers, as well as energy management specialists, to ensure the cohesive, timely, and successful execution of multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects.
