Your mission is to balance team capacity, mentor technical staff, and refine the delivery processes that help our K–12, higher education, and municipal customers master their capital planning.

- Establish and maintain standardized methodologies for site surveys, data capture, and technical reporting to ensure consistency and accuracy across all team deliverables.
- Work closely with the Chief Customer Officer to align engineering services with company growth goals, customer retention strategies, and product development.
- Continuously refine the "FCA playbook," identifying opportunities to use technology and data tools to increase the efficiency of field assessments and report generation.
- Partner with Sales and Customer Success to scope complex engagements, acting as a high-level technical lead during pre-sales discovery or for "at-risk" strategic accounts.
- Act as the voice of the engineering team to the Product and Engineering departments, translating field trends and customer feedback into actionable features for the FMX platform.
- Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for the team, including project margins, delivery timelines, and customer satisfaction scores.
- Oversee the tools, software, and equipment utilized by the field team, ensuring safety oversight and that they have the resources needed to perform assessments safely and effectively, including vertical or high-access inspections.
Preferred Experience & Qualities:
- 3-5+ years of experience in a management or lead role, specifically overseeing technical teams and growing programs in facilities, construction, or engineering consulting.
- 10+ years of experience in commercial building systems (MEP, envelope, structural) and a deep understanding of master facility planning, facility condition assessments (FCA) and capital planning.
- Proven ability to move beyond technical tasks to see the "big picture" of how consulting services drive software adoption and long-term customer ROI.
- Exceptional ability to present technical strategies to executive stakeholders and translate complex engineering data into compelling business cases.
- A natural ability to solve complex operational hurdles, from scheduling logistics to resolving technical discrepancies in field data.
- Advanced knowledge of CMMS/CAFM software, capital forecasting tools, AI-assisted productivity tools, and the Microsoft Office/Google Suite; experience with FMX is a significant plus.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field; professional certifications (e.g., P.E., CFM, PMP) are highly desirable.
- Working knowledge of Building Automation System
- Ability to travel up to 30% to support team members in the field, participate in high-stakes client meetings, and attend industry events.
