Join ClearPoint as a Secure Building Engineer, where you will lead and execute the operational, maintenance, and improvement efforts across a portfolio of secure facilities in Maryland. You will ensure our facilities are maintained at the highest standard of quality, safety, security, and service — delivering well-functioning environments for customers and team members.

This position involves hands‑on maintenance and repair across general building systems and maintenance; leading electrical infrastructure projects and outages; overseeing contractors; and providing senior technical guidance to other team members. You'll bring a proactive, solutions-driven approach to both daily operations and long-term facility resiliency.

You Will Excel in This Role If You Are:

• A hands-on engineer who is equally comfortable performing general building maintenance and leading complex electrical work
• A licensed Master Electrician with broad working knowledge across building infrastructure systems
• Experienced with mission‑critical systems: switchgear, generators, UPS, and automatic transfer switches
• Confident diagnosing and resolving complex failures, electrical or otherwise, under pressure
• Organized and accountable, with strong ownership over reliability, code compliance, and building condition
• Comfortable mentoring less experienced engineers and technicians
• Flexible and dependable when responding to after‑hours or emergency issues, electrical or general
• Committed to excellence, safety, and upholding ClearPoint's values in every task

A Day in the Life:

• Oversee and perform preventative maintenance, reactive repairs, and operational inspections across all building systems and grounds
• Serve as the senior technical authority for electrical systems, including switchgear, distribution, feeders, transfer switches, generators, and UPS systems
• Maintain systems such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, lighting, fire alarms, mechanical controls, and security infrastructure
• Perform and document daily, monthly, and annual inspections, ensuring any issues are addressed quickly and effectively
• Schedule and coordinate third‑party vendors and contractors for specialized repairs or inspections
• Respond to service requests related to mechanical, environmental, safety, plumbing, or general maintenance issues
• Maintain accurate logs, inspection records, and reports
• Ensure that non‑functioning items are properly identified, reported, repaired, or removed
• Receive and inspect deliveries as needed, coordinating storage or distribution
• Lead preventive and corrective electrical maintenance programs to ensure reliability and minimize downtime
• Diagnose and resolve complex equipment failures, electrical or general building systems, acting as first responder for emergencies and outages
• Lead or assist in facility improvement projects and capital upgrades, including budgeting and contractor oversight
• Oversee and review the work of contractors and vendors across all trades; support permitting and ensure code compliance
• Operate within facility ticketing systems to complete and track work orders
• Provide guidance to junior maintenance staff or temporary contractors when necessary
• Perform all duties in alignment with OSHA safety protocols and company procedures

What we are expecting from you:

• Active Maryland Master Electrician License
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Minimum 8 years of experience in building maintenance/engineering, with strong electrical depth, ideally in commercial or mission‑critical facilities
• Working knowledge of all major building systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical)
• Strong understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC), building codes, and OSHA standards
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and customer service skills
• Must pass a background check and drug screening
• Valid Driver’s License and reliable transportation
• Willingness to travel between portfolio properties and work in adverse weather conditions

Nice to have:

• State Certified Journeyman’s License (HVAC, Plumbing, or Carpentry)
• Master Electrician license in Virginia, Washington D.C., and/or Delaware
• Vocational training or coursework in relevant technical areas (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.)
• Proficiency in using Yardi Facility Manager, Construction Manager, or other automated work order systems
• Ability to read technical schematics, wiring diagrams, and architectural/engineering plans (AutoCAD experience a plus)
• Familiarity with building automation systems (BAS) and energy-management systems
• Experience leading or coordinating property maintenance projects
