Job Summary
The Chief Engineer is responsible for the overall management, performance, and reliability of all building systems within a commercial office property. Unlike a Stationary Engineer role, this position provides leadership, direction, and oversight of engineering operations, staff, vendors, and long-term maintenance planning. The Chief Engineer ensures systems are not only operational, but optimized, compliant, and aligned with property goals and budgets.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage all engineering and maintenance personnel, including scheduling, training, and performance management
Oversee the operation and efficiency of HVAC, chiller systems, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure
Develop, implement, and enforce preventive and predictive maintenance programs
Serve as the primary decision-maker for complex repairs, system failures, and emergency response
Manage and approve work performed by third-party vendors and contractors
Prepare and manage operating budgets, including forecasting and capital expenditures
Identify and recommend equipment upgrades, replacements, and energy efficiency improvements
Ensure full compliance with OSHA, local codes, and safety standards
Maintain high-level oversight of logs, reporting, and regulatory documentation
Act as the main point of contact for property management regarding all engineering matters
Establish and enforce standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the engineering team
Qualifications
Must have Valid Stationary Engineer license
5+ years of commercial building engineering experience, including leadership/supervisory responsibility
Advanced knowledge of central plant operations, including large-scale chiller systems
Demonstrated ability to manage teams, vendors, and budgets
Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to oversee—not just perform—repairs
Experience with building automation systems (BAS) and energy management preferred
Key Differences from Stationary Engineer Role
Leadership vs. Execution: Chief Engineer directs the team; Stationary Engineer performs assigned maintenance and repairs
Accountability: Chief Engineer is responsible for overall building performance and compliance, not just individual tasks
Decision-Making Authority: Chief Engineer makes final calls on repairs, vendors, and capital improvements
Strategic Focus: Chief Engineer handles budgeting, planning, and system optimization; Stationary Engineer focuses on day-to-day operations
Supervision: Chief Engineer manages staff; Stationary Engineer typically works independently or under supervision
Vendor & Client Interaction: Chief Engineer interfaces regularly with ownership/management and contractors
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary based on experience
