Testimonial
I play a part in building a bright future that can weather any storm.
Many times, the safety of entire communities is influenced by our work. On one project in Florida, I worked with a client to make sure a critical 911 communications facility would be operable during and after a Category 5 hurricane. Advising them on things like how to protect vital generator systems and helping them make costeffective design decisions, I had a hand in building something truly substantial. In the end, our client was happy to have a partner that understood and worked with them to meet their unique needs.

- Evaluate site water supplies and fire protection, dust hazards, electrical systems, chemical storage and processing, structural designs, construction materials and site maintenance and emergency response programs.
- Ensure FM Engineering Standards are followed and, as necessary, communicate the appropriate recommendations and/or engineering solutions to clients.
- Support and assist clients as they implement solutions to mitigate the identified risks.
- Working from a home office and travel to clients' facilities daily (overnight travel is expected 3-5 nights per month, or around 15-25%).

- Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in engineering (various specialties considered)
