Facilities Plant Engineer 3\4
Leads teams to develop complex conceptual analysis to determine the cause of asset failures and reduction in mechanical systems asset capacity by using reliability tools and methods (e.g., life cycle analysis, condition based maintenance, root cause failure methodology, mean time between failures, fault tree analysis, etc.). Participates, facilitates and leads others in designing, engineering and implementing complex improvements in mechanical systems (e.g., piping, HVAC, cooling towers, pumps, boilers, air compressors, cranes, etc.). Researches and champions the effectiveness, availability, and maintainability of existing mechanical systems and improved configurations of new assets in order to enhance system life by supporting reliability programs. Participates, facilitates and leads others in developing preventive maintenance processes using reliability centered maintenance concepts. Participates on or leads cross-functional teams to integrate the activities of multiple engineering disciplines, technicians, outside consultants and government agencies. Leads teams that manage and support complex construction projects by providing input on vendor selection; reviews contractor proposals; interfaces with government/regulatory agencies; monitors project progress and vendor/consultant performance. Leads the technical and business decision making process by providing input to strategic, short-term, and long-term mechanical systems infrastructure planning; completes studies; analyzes current conditions and future requirements; recommends capital improvements; gathers and analyzes data; performs root cause analysis of the system; and works with both internal and external customers in order to identify and assess alternatives and impacts. Leads in translation of customer requirements into conceptual design by analyzing intended use/occupancy and desired aesthetics using mechanical engineering principles, conducting code research, developing preliminary design elements, determining interdisciplinary engineering support requirements, estimating resource costs/requirements, identifying materials, equipment, and services, and developing initial project schedule in order to establish project scope in response to customer requirements. Plans, manages, and executes large or complex technical projects.
Competencies
General• Collaboration
Works effectively and cooperatively with fellow employees, peers from other teams and/or parts of the organization and occasionally external customers; establishes and maintains good working relationships by actively involving others and helping them feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions. Places higher priority on team and/or organization goals than on own goals. Offers to provide help and/or leadership to other teams and/or employees and occasionally external customers when they need assistance.
• Communication
Clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Keeps the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames the message in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Accurately interprets messages from others and responds appropriately.
• Customer Focus
Makes customers and their needs a primary focus of one's actions; develops and sustains productive customer relationships; uses information to understand customers' circumstances, problems, expectations, and needs; periodically becomes involved in sharing information with customers to build their understanding of issues and capabilities; considers how actions or plans will affect customers; responds quickly to meet customer needs and resolve problems; assists higher graded employees and/or project team leaders in implementing ways to monitor and evaluate customer concerns, issues, and satisfaction and to anticipate customer needs.
• Project Management
Experienced in creating comprehensive project schedules identifying time frames for key project milestones. Directs and manages more complex project schedules; independently identifies project resource requirements, may collaborate with others on the most complex projects assigned or assist more experienced employees in complex large scale projects. Ability to accept, direct and perform responsibilities and work assigned tasks as a project team member in support of the overall project; leads and directs the activities and resources of assigned projects and supports higher graded employees in more large scale and complex projects.
