Primary Purpose of Department
The mission of Facilities Management is to provide a quality learning, research, and living environment for the benefit of students, faculty, staff, and the community by planning, building, operating, and maintaining the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Primary Purpose of Position
Building Envelope Architect/Engineerr serves as the University's primary technical authority for the total physical building boundary and its critical internal systems. This position evaluates design documents, participates in project planning, and oversees the commissioning of building enclosures (roofs, walls, glazing), interior architectural finishes (flooring, paint, ceilings), and vertical transportation systems (elevators).
Summary of Position Responsibilities
The Building Envelope Architect/Engineer serves as the University's primary technical authority on the physical integrity and performance of the campus built environment. Reporting to the Director of Asset Management, the role is responsible for governing University standards for the building enclosure (roofs, walls, glazing), interior finishes, and vertical transportation systems.
The position's primary objective is to bridge the gap between initial design and long-term maintenance. Key functions include:
  • Technical Governance: Establishing and enforcing Design and Construction Manual (DCM) standards with a focus on building science (thermodynamics and moisture management) and code compliance ($NC$ $IBC$ and $ASME$).
  • Quality Assurance & Forensics: Directing the Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) process for capital projects and performing forensic engineering to diagnose and remediate system failures like water intrusion or air barrier leaks.
  • Lifecycle Management: Developing asset management plans and acting as a critical liaison between external design firms and internal Maintenance Operations to ensure facilities are durable, cost-effective, and maintainable.
  • Strategic Oversight: Protecting the University's interests during renovations by maintaining the integrity of fire ratings, thermal boundaries, and acoustic separations while championing a "Total Building Performance" strategy.

In short, this role ensures that campus structures are engineered to withstand the local climate, minimize the total cost of ownership, and integrate seamlessly with existing operational workflows.
Minimum Education/Experience
Bachelor's degree in Architecture or Engineering and 5 years of relevant experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience that provides the candidate with the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform complex building science analysis and forensic investigations. All degrees must be from appropriately accredited institutions.
Preferred Education, Knowledge, Skills and Experience
Primary Expertise: Advanced knowledge of building science, including thermodynamics, moisture dynamics, and airflow management specifically for building envelopes in humid subtropical climates.
Maintenance Integration: Experience bridging the "Design-to-Ops" gap, specifically coordinating with skilled trades (Paint, Flooring, Carpentry, and Elevators) to ensure long-term maintainability.
Technical Proficiency: Proficiency in forensic engineering for water intrusion, air barrier failures, and flooring substrate issues.
Code Mastery: Deep familiarity with the North Carolina International Building Code (NC IBC), NC Energy Conservation Code, and ASME A17.1 (Safety Code for Elevators).
Communication: Ability to negotiate technical material selections with external design firms to protect university lifecycle interests.
Necessary Certifications/Licenses
  • Valid Driver's License (required for site visits and regular operation of University vehicles).

Some positions may require licensure by the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors.
Preferred Certifications/Licenses
Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA).
Industry Specifics: Building Enclosure Commissioning Provider (BECxP), Registered Roof Observer (RRO), or Certified Building Commissioning Professional (CBCP).
Special Notes to Applicants
This position is a "bridge" role. Success requires the ability to transition seamlessly from high-level design meetings with external architects to the mechanical rooms and rooftops with our skilled trade technicians. We are looking for a technical authority who is equally comfortable reviewing blue-prints as they are conducting site-walks with our Envelope, Interiors, and Elevator shops.
