• Assist team members with the identification, classification, and assessment of building MEP systems and their components.
• Coordinate with government stakeholders, facility managers, contractors, and project teams to translate operational needs and field findings into actionable engineering solutions.
• Report to the secure federal campus in Washington, DC, as required to conduct field investigations, validate existing conditions, participate in meetings, and support project execution.

• Demonstrated experience supporting federal facility condition assessments, engineering evaluations, asset management, or capital-planning programs, including work in secure or mission-critical environments.
• Experience using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) Sustainment Management System (SMS), including BUILDER, for facility condition assessment, asset inventory, data entry, quality control, and lifecycle or capital-investment planning.
• Broad working knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, controls, energy management, facility infrastructure, and related mechanical systems.
• Experience conducting facility condition assessments, engineering evaluations, technical reviews, cost-estimate reviews, technical writing, and stakeholder coordination.
• Ability to work independently, exercise sound professional judgment, lead recurring project communications, and perform quality control of technical deliverables.
