Remarkable opportunity for the successful candidate to manage a portfolio of critical infrastructure projects at Holloman AFB, NM, involving the sustainment and modernization of $1.1B worth of world-unique facilities, ranging from supersonic rocket sleds to advanced avionics to radar cross-section testing. Functioning as part of a cross-functional team of engineers, the candidate will plan and execute a 3- to 5-year construction roadmap, working with top-tier engineering firms, local contractors, and government agencies to deliver projects that directly enable some of the nation's most advanced test and evaluation missions. This position is located at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico.
Duties:
This position is multi-faceted and will include aspects of project and contract management, technical engineering and design, financial planning and programming, and stakeholder collaboration and communication.
Project and Contract Management:
- Assume full ownership of a $25M-$50M structural and architectural project portfolio, responsible for all pre-award functions including writing Statements of Work, Independent Government Estimates, and preparing contractual documents.
- Direct all post-award contract management, including critical review of contractor design submittals ensuring proper calculations for transformers, switchgear, panelboards, interior circuits, conductors, grounding, protective devices, and load flow calculations
- Drive the 35%-100% design review process, leading meetings with stakeholders (Contracting Officers, AE firms, and design engineers) to validate technical specifications against NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 70E (Electrical Safety), and UFC 3-500 series electrical standards
- Perform contract modifications for design and material changes, making compromises in design characteristics dictated by weight, size, cost, maintainability, reliability, production, etc. Determine the means to advance projects and evaluate significant modifications to construction methods or materials due to changes in requirements, technological advances, or shortcomings in design and/or performance.
- Perform site visits to ensure contractor construction compliance and recommend resolution of differences with contractors. Perform value engineering to save money for the federal government and keep contractor scope aligned with the project budget.
Technical Engineering and Design:
- Serve as the electrical technical authority for the 704th Test Group on all matters of facility electrical power, providing expert analysis and decisive engineering recommendations for systems operating from 208V up to medium voltage (15kV class).
- Act as technical advisor for major construction efforts, deconflicting existing facility structural limitations with new designs and advise senior leaders on projects valued at $1B.
- Lead electrical studies to improve energy management, fire prevention, reduction of maintenance lifecycle costs, and transformation of antiquated facilities into state-of-the art modernized facilities that meet modern workplace standards.
- Enforce and interpret strict compliance with NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 70E (Electrical Safety), UFC 3-500 series electrical standards, and Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs).
Financial Planning and Programming:
- Prepare technical specifications, design, cost estimates, and programming documents to develop a perpetual 3–5-year financial plan for structural and building envelope systems supporting 280 facilities.
- Align electrical infrastructure planning and projects with recently completed Community Planning, Area Development Plans (ADPs) and planning charettes, ensuring that long-range facility and mission growth is supported by a robust and scalable power strategy.
- Request and lead engineering studies to properly plan future construction or repair projects to create defensible capital budget planning allocations for the infrastructure portfolio.
- Perform construction engineering research on facility condition indexes using BUILDER™ SMS. Assess life-cycle stages of foundations, roofs, and structures to provide a comprehensive picture of overall performance of facility assets.
Stakeholder Collaboration and Communication:
- Work cross-functionally with engineers, architects, and managers of the 704th Test Group Facilities and Infrastructure Team. Encourage teamwork, motivate team members, set clear goals, lead by example, and provide feedback to achieve a shared vision and mission.
- Translate complex engineering concepts into clear, concise, and actionable terms for non-technical leaders, contracting officers, customers, and other stakeholders.Act as a key partner to the Structural, Pavements, and Grounds Shop Superintendents on all projects to integrate their critical feedback on constructability and long-term durability.
- Communicate effectively verbally and in writing with the engineering team, customers, and high-level stakeholders. Primary modes of communication include technical reports, presentations, meetings, and email.
BS in Electrical Engineering and 7 years of experience are required.
