• Determine the condition, remaining useful life, required costs, and remedial measures for electrical and low‑voltage systems.
• Provide technical identification and description of deficiencies ranging from concerns to critical issues.
• Recommend corrective actions and describe them with sufficient technical detail for future project planning and cost estimating.
• Interview building operations and maintenance staff to determine building history, previous work orders, and operations information; prepare project progress documentation for project manager review.
• Review peer work and actively participate in post‑project reviews.
• Handle other responsibilities as needed.

What We Offer

• Flexible work schedules with a hybrid model – work from home and/or work from the office.
• Competitive benefits package, including a generous paid time off policy.
• An inclusive work environment that encourages employees to demonstrate their strengths and passions in achieving personal and organizational goals.
• Coaching with leadership that enables professional growth for future career pathing.
• The opportunity to work for a growing team with proven success.

Required Skills and Experience

• Minimum of four years of related work experience.
• Direct experience in conducting architectural facility condition assessments is strongly preferred.
• Experience assessing healthcare and educational institutions is strongly preferred.
• Prior cost estimating experience is valued but not required.
• Registration, licensure or technical certification in a related field is preferred.
• Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office applications is required, as well as a clear aptitude for tablet and mobile device usage.
• Experience with Deltek Vision, Adobe Suite, and Bluebeam is valued but not required.
• Must be willing to travel up to 40% for out‑of‑town assignments; on average, projects include one week in the field followed by two weeks in the office.
• Must be physically able to walk the stated areas each day, climb fixed and sometimes extension ladders, and walk on roof surfaces up to a 3/12 slope.
