Job Description

Field Supervisor — Facilities Condition Assessment

Los Angeles Unified School District | MAAS Companies

The Work

LAUSD operates over 1,000 school sites across Los Angeles — some built in the 1920s, some brand new, most somewhere in between. The district needs to know what's failing, what's fine, and what's about to break so they can prioritize bond spending intelligently. That's where you come in.

As Field Supervisor, you'll walk campuses across the district documenting the condition of every major building system — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, structure, envelope, interiors. You'll assess remaining service life, log findings on a tablet, and feed that data into a capital planning model that drives hundreds of millions in investment decisions. This isn't estimating from drawings. This is boots-on-the-ground forensic work where your judgment matters.

You'll work solo or in small field teams, moving site to site, coordinating with other trade surveyors, and occasionally explaining to a school principal why you need access to their mechanical room. The scope shifts — a building opens early for summer school, a bond measure passes, or leadership needs a fast answer on a specific system. You adapt, show up, and get it done.

What You'll Own

• Field surveys of K-12 campuses to identify and document building systems — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, envelope, interiors
• Condition assessment and remaining service life estimation based on construction knowledge and visual inspection, calibrated to LAUSD standards
• Real-time data entry on tablets or mobile devices with supporting photos and measurements
• Inferring hidden systems based on building age, construction type, code era, and visible access points — you know what's behind walls and above ceilings without opening them
• Collaboration with trade-specific surveyors to gather quantities, measurements, and boilerplate data as needed
• Ad hoc surveys as the district's priorities shift
• Supervision and mentorship of junior survey staff when needed — you're the resource people ask when they don't know the answer

Requirements

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management, OR 10+ years of construction experience (four years of experience may substitute for the degree on a year-for-year basis)
• 6+ years of full-time experience working with on-site construction management teams and directly with campus administrators, faculty, and staff
• Deep knowledge of how buildings are built and how they age — you've been in enough crawl spaces, mechanical rooms, and above ceilings to assess condition by sight
• Ability to identify building systems, estimate remaining service life, and recognize failure modes without needing a full teardown
• Comfort with field data collection technology — tablets, mobile apps, cloud-based survey tools
• Ability to work independently, manage your own schedule, and coordinate with distributed teams

Benefits

Why MAAS

MAAS has spent nearly 40 years earning the trust of 50+ educational institutions across California, managing over $10B in projects. That track record means the work here is stable, funded, and consequential — you're not chasing the next contract.

As a MAAS employee, you're also an owner. The company is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP — a retirement benefit provided at no cost to you, on top of your salary. MAAS is a profitable, well-run organization and our share price has more than doubled since the plan's inception, with continued growth year over year. Your ownership stake builds the longer you stay, and ESOP participants nationally tend to accumulate 2.5x more in retirement savings than employees at non-ESOP companies.

In an industry not known for prioritizing culture, 96% of MAAS employees say it's a great place to work, and 100% say people genuinely care about each other. That's not a perk. It's how the company runs.
