About the Role

The purpose of this position is to gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems via nationwide site assessment work with up to 75% travel. The value you will deliver will be summarized in client reports or databases of observed MEP equipment condition in buildings and campuses across all major market sectors. Our Fortune 500 clientele expects you to be part of the “best team on the field” solutions to their property condition questions. Each junior engineer will conduct asset surveys in existing buildings, write property condition and energy assessment reports, and support architectural and MEP staff across the nation with direct accountability for project delivery.

In the early months of this job the successful candidate will conduct mentored site visits focused on asset data collection to bring each new team member up to speed rapidly. This work is delivered via iOS app-based survey tools which not only collect equipment model and serial number, but drills down into ratings of equipment condition, criticality, and categorization into a naming hierarchy. Candidates with prior survey or app-based tool experience preferred.

Our projects revolve around delivering considered data to demanding clients in a timely manner. Project management responsibilities will include self-scheduling, coordinating, and executing site visits throughout the US followed by research to confirm site observations, and finally reporting to communicate findings. Each team member is encouraged to manage multiple projects simultaneously (ideally 2-3 at a time) and communicate proactively with leadership if delivery timeline is in jeopardy.
