Do you have engineering experience related to facilities construction, renovation, design, energy, and/ or water conservation? The Office of Research Facilities has General Engineer positions available in two divisions: The Division of Design and Construction Management (DDCM) The Division of Facilities Stewardship (DFS) Please see the duties section below for further information on the roles of each Division.

Duties

As a General Engineer in ORF, you will: Plan and oversee all aspects of planning, design, and construction for research and clinical facilities, laboratories, animal holding areas, and utility systems at the National Institutes of Health. Lead site investigations and evaluate data obtained to determine feasibility, topography, and site configuration or condition of structure and essential data prior to initiating design. Direct the preparation of detailed fee estimates and the pertinent correspondence, plans, reports and design contract criteria necessary for project completion. Monitor project reviews, readjusting budgets, schedules and work required to complete assigned projects. Perform final acceptance inspections and complete all administrative actions required to close out assigned projects. Use information management, project tracking and computer aided design and drafting (Revit) programs to solve engineering problems and facilitate work. Ensure strict adherence to federal, state, and local codes related to health, safety, and the environment throughout the programming, design, and construction phases of real property facilities. The Division of Design and Construction Management (DDCM) leads and manages the NIH research facilities program for engineering, architecture, design, and construction from planning through contract closeout. DDCM supports the NIH clinical and biomedical research mission by providing unique and innovative facility solutions to support research and related functions at the nearly 300-acre Bethesda, MD campus including the world's largest clinical research hospital, laboratories, animal research facilities, and office buildings. The Division of Facilities Stewardship (DFS) is charged with assessing and understanding the condition of NIH real property assets and their systems, developing and overseeing plans, budgets, and projects and programs for correcting deficiencies. DFS works to improve the energy and water efficiency and performance of NIH owned facilities.
