Job Description
Duties
The incumbent oversees the full lifecycle of campus facility projects, from planning and programming to modernization and close-out. They provide independent reviews of area development plans to align infrastructure investments with operational priorities, ensuring designs for mission-essential spaces are mature and ready for rapid construction. They also integrate energy management, environmental compliance, and force protection into all facility proposals.
Leveraging mastery in multidisciplinary engineering, the advisor drafts and recommends technical standards governing campus infrastructure. They ensure the seamless integration of architecture, IT, life/fire safety, and Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) compliance, while advising on historic preservation to balance mission needs with regulatory obligations.
The position provides specialized financial and technical analysis to support the command's budget submissions (POM) and program execution. They advise leadership on funding strategies for construction and real estate and serve as the Senior Technical Advisor to Contracting Officers (CO/CORs) to monitor contractor performance, evaluate compliance, and resolve complex technical disputes.
As a Special Technical Advisor to the Combatant Commander (CCDR), the incumbent provides authoritative counsel on highly complex engineering challenges. They supply critical technical data to support leadership during engagements with Congress, the Department of War (DoW), Air Force agencies, and local governments. They also assist in high-level negotiations with contractors and federal partners to resolve conflicts.
The advisor facilitates cross-functional teamwork to advance the command's modernization agenda, ensuring mutually supportive technical reviews across directorates. Additionally, they mentor facility management staff and engineers, designing technical training frameworks to cultivate organizational depth and sustain long-term engineering expertise within the workforce.
Requirements
Conditions of employment
Eligibility will be based upon a clear showing the applicant has training, education and experience of the scope and quality sufficient to effectively carry-out the duties of the position.
a. Education: Successful completion of a full 4-year course of study in an accredited college or university leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering. The program must:
(1) Lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET);
OR
(2) Include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: statics, dynamics; strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); fluid mechanics, hydraulics; thermodynamics; electrical fields and circuits; nature and properties of materials; and any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics (such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics).
b. Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. This background must be demonstrated by one of the following:
Professional registration or licensure as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT), or Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico;
Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board;
Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences, including the courses specified in the basic requirements above, fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program;
Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field (e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology) may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance.
