Hiring Manager Notes
The hiring manager is seeking a technical Facilities Engineer with strong unconventional facilities engineering experience—not a project manager or construction supervisor.
The strongest candidates will demonstrate experience with:

• Unconventional facilities design (3+ years required )
• Front-end engineering and design
• Engineering problem solving
• Small project development and execution
• Facility scoping and field walkdowns
• Management of Change (MOC)
• Operations support
• Construction handoff and project closeout
• Working directly with Operations and Construction teams

Candidates whose experience is primarily focused on project management, supervision, or construction oversight without significant hands-on engineering and design experience are unlikely to be competitive for this position.
