Manage and support projects such as feasibility studies, system assessments, and budget development.
Review drawings, specifications, and calculations for steam and chilled water systems.
Support planning for campus growth, conversions, and development of district thermal plants.
Collaborate with operations teams, consultants, manufacturers, and design professionals to ensure systems are designed and operated for long-term efficiency and maintainability.
Provide training, workshops, and technical resources for operations and maintenance staff.
Drive system and plant efficiency utilizing campus thermal models.
May supervise staff, including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.
