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:

  • 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.
