Responsibilities Designs, reviews and manages generally for building and electronic facility electrical engineering projects including power panels, electrical buss, UPS, engine generators, standby battery systems, lighting systems and/or grounding work for new and remodel work. The work also includes the responsibility for planning, developing, and overseeing small projects to establish and improve facilities/systems including preparation of engineering plans, specification and documents for construction and/or installation of facilities and equipment. Applies experience and advanced knowledge of engineering principles, theories, and concepts applicable to his/her discipline to plan and accomplish assignments. He/she uses experience and knowledge of the Uniform Building Code (UBC), International Building Code (IBC), the National Electrical code, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Lighting Protection Code, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Grounding Standards for electronic facilities to complete complex assignments. He/she assures that assigned projects comply with applicable building codes and standards, including FAA Orders and directives and is required to interact with personnel from other sections, field offices, private sector contractors, and other local and Federal government agencies. Conducts site surveys and site adaptation of standard engineering designs, including developing and coordinating project scope, cost estimate, facility and NAS risk mitigation, RTP schedule, resource requirements, and project closeout for assigned projects. Established policies/procedures provide guidance for most assignments, but allow considerable discretion to select the most appropriate approach or to recommend new approaches. He/she estimates, manages, and accounts for funding of assigned projects. Initiates, modifies, and assesses task orders/work releases/contracts with engineering support contractors such as TSSC, NISC, A/Es, and others in response to changes in scope, performance and cost. Identifies and informs management of problems that require their attention. Often develops and recommends techniques to address problem situations. Performs the full range of construction and/or installation activities including the conduct of daily operations, overall schedule reviews, drawing approvals; project coordination, safety and environmental requirements, and interfacing with Logistics on contract award, contract modifications and material acquisitions. Uses experience of a COR/TOR for implementation construction and installation activities. Work is reviewed periodically, typically at major milestones and at completion, for technical compliance and alignment with the requirements of the project or other work activity.
