Supervisory General Engineer

Based at Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC), a Joint Commission-accredited hospital serving Native American communities across Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and the Southwest, this role supports 1,500 inpatients and ~467,700 outpatient visits annually. The Director of Engineering Services leads all facilities engineering operations including maintenance, construction, energy management, and biomedical equipment while ensuring regulatory compliance and efficient healthcare delivery.

Qualifications:

To qualify for this position, your resume must state sufficient experience and/or education, to perform the duties of the specific position for which you are applying.

Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; social). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer and part time experience. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week.

BASIC REQUIREMENT(S):

A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.

OR

B. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:

1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1 , or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
2. 2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
3. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A.
4. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not allinclusive.)

In addition to the Basic Requirements, you must also meet the Minimum Qualifications stated below.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
Your resume must demonstrate at least one (1) year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade level in the Federal service obtained in either the private or public sector performing the following type of work and/or tasks: Managing staffing, personnel support, and allocation of funds applying Federal or private sector budgeting processes for formulation, validation, and execution; evaluating facilities for maintenance and repair needs across building systems including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing while ensuring compliance with Environment of Care regulations and life safety codes; coordinating and integrating planning and management of resources across multi-phase projects, determining priorities and monitoring progress to ensure goals were met within established timelines; Monitored active construction contracts in a role similar to that of a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) while negotiating with contractors, architects, tribal organizations, and government agencies on engineering projects; and providing professional engineering direction and technical consultation to executive staff on regulatory compliance, major construction initiatives, and engineering program priorities.

Time In Grade
Federal employees in the competitive service are also subject to the Time-In-Grade Requirements: Merit Promotion (status) candidates must have completed one year of service at the next lower grade level. Time-In-Grade provisions do not apply under the Excepted Service Examining Plan (ESEP).

You must meet all qualification requirements within 30 days of the closing date of the announcement.

Responsibilities:

• Leads and oversees Facilities Management at PIMC, including maintenance, repair, construction, energy management, and long-term planning for a large and growing healthcare campus, while managing budgets, staffing, and a five-year engineering plan.
• Provides technical leadership and coordination for major construction and renovation projects (including a $3.2B replacement hospital), ensuring compliance with regulations, supporting executive decision-making, and collaborating with engineers, contractors, and government agencies.
• Ensures safety, compliance, and operational readiness of all facilities and medical equipment through preventive maintenance programs, regulatory adherence (e.g., Joint Commission, OSHA, EPA), and continuous monitoring, reporting, and quality improvement initiatives.
• Directs the Division of Facilities Engineering, leading operational planning, workforce supervision, and personnel management by coordinating workloads, guiding staff performance, optimizing processes, and administering personnel actions to ensure efficient operations and high standards of patient care.
• Develops and interprets policies and procedures, advising leadership to improve efficiency, compliance, and effectiveness in facilities, engineering, and healthcare operations.
