Role summary
Manages assigned electrical, HVAC, utility, backup-power, capacity-expansion, and building technical systems infrastructure projects from definition through testing, startup, and turnover. The role converts operational needs and existing-condition data into coordinated engineering packages and executable outage, tie-in, energization, and cutover plans. It supports reliable and resilient facility operations while minimizing disruption to active manufacturing.
Key responsibilities
- Verify existing field conditions and assess the accuracy, completeness, and limitations of available utility information.
- Develop design criteria, user needs, system requirements, system boundaries, and engineering work packages.
- Coordinate capacity, demand, reliability, redundancy, maintainability, resilience, and lifecycle assessments.
- Identify utility constraints, enabling work, temporary-service needs, third-party dependencies, and operational impacts.
- Integrate electrical, HVAC, utility, controls, automation, maintenance, and building technical systems interfaces.
- Prepare and manage technical specifications, bid-scope documents, design reviews, and technical bid evaluations.
- Coordinate designers, consultants, vendors, utility providers, contractors, and Owner stakeholders.
- Develop shutdown, tie-in, energization, cutover, contingency, communication, restoration, and temporary-utility strategies.
- Support submittal review, field issue resolution, testing, commissioning, startup, and turnover.
- Update utility capacity-planning records, system documentation, and final closeout records.
What success looks like
- Existing conditions, source data, field limitations, and unresolved gaps are documented before design decisions rely on them.
- Capacity conclusions are traceable to loads, assumptions, calculations, and source information.
- Approved design criteria and interface documents align affected disciplines and active operations.
- Shutdown and cutover plans define prerequisites, sequence, roles, risks, contingency actions, communications, and restoration steps.
- Testing and commissioning requirements are completed, and final records accurately reflect the installed condition and remaining constraints.
Required qualifications
| Education, training, or equivalent experience |
Bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, facilities, or related engineering, or equivalent technical education and progressively responsible experience. |
| Relevant experience |
Typically 7+ years managing facility and utility capital projects in operating industrial environments. Documented experience supporting construction projects with total installed cost exceeding $30 million is required. Experience with energized systems, operational cutovers, and regulated or mission-critical facilities is required. |
| Required skills or knowledge |
Utility load and capacity assessment; design criteria development; electrical distribution and/or HVAC/central utility systems; reliability and redundancy concepts; shutdown and cutover planning; commissioning readiness; technical specifications; contractor and utility-provider coordination; and structured risk management. |
| Required licenses or certifications, if applicable |
Professional Engineer license is preferred and may be required for responsible-charge duties. Required electrical-safety, lockout/tagout, arc-flash awareness, site safety, and GMP training must be current for assigned activities. |
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with backup generation, medium-voltage distribution, controls integration, chilled water, compressed air, or other critical utilities.
- PMP, CEM, PE, or commissioning credential.
- Experience developing utilities master plans and supporting capacity-expansion programs.
- Experience executing shutdowns and cutovers in continuously operating pharmaceutical or biotechnology facilities.
Key working relationships
- Facilities, Utilities, Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, Automation, EHS, Quality, and Security, for requirements and operational continuity.
- Design consultants, OEMs, contractors, commissioning providers, and utility companies, for technical delivery and testing.
- Procurement and project controls, for package strategy, schedule, cost, and risk alignment.
Working conditions or role requirements
- Regular onsite field verification and presence during construction, testing, outages, tie-ins, energizations, and cutovers.
- Potential work around energized equipment, mechanical rooms, rooftops, utility yards, and active industrial areas, subject to permits and PPE.
- Off-hours, weekend, or holiday support may be required for approved outages and restoration activities.
- Travel may be required for vendor inspections or factory testing.
Additional information
- The role recommends and coordinates technical solutions; outages, cutovers, and changes affecting active operations require authorized Owner approval.
- Specialized testing, destructive investigation, and utility-provider services are managed when assigned but are not assumed to be self-performed.
Role complexity note: Experienced professional role requiring independent delivery of assigned packages within an integrated capital program.
