Agency Overview

The Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), which oversees over $2 billion in capital programs and projects, is responsible for capital planning, project delivery, property management, and real estate services for the Commonwealth.  We are stewards of the Commonwealth's assets, which include 5.5 million square feet of state buildings.  As an agency, we care for the people of our state and the future of our planet.

  • We work with state agencies to create and manage forward-thinking, sustainable buildings to meet the needs of the Commonwealth's citizens and help achieve a zero-carbon future. 
  • We are partners with fellow agencies to help them meet their strategic needs with fiscally responsible building and real estate solutions.
  • We support the growth of the Commonwealth's economy and actively engage with private sector partners to make it easier to do business with the Commonwealth.
  • We work to expand access, opportunity, and equity to create more inclusive services, planning and outcomes for all the citizens of the Commonwealth.

DCAMM is a central agency in implementing several key policy priorities of the Healey-Driscoll Administration, including promoting decarbonization and climate resilience in all state facilities, identifying and facilitating opportunities to repurpose underutilized state property for housing production, and increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in public construction contracting and in the public construction workforce. 

Position Overview

DCAMM's Office of Design and Construction is seeking Contractor Resident Engineers/Clerk of Works to monitor various Public construction projects statewide, including CM@Risk, new construction, renovations, demolition, environmental remediation, and energy and water conservation projects including large retrofits, commissioning, and installation of renewable energy technology. Contractor Resident Engineers observe and document daily ongoing construction activities to monitor job progress and to ensure that the work of the Contractor is in compliance with the project plans and specifications.

Resident Engineers work with the Designer, Contractor, and Project Manager/Project Engineer to maintain quality control, ensure appropriate construction methods, procedures and safety requirements, adherence to contract documents and compliance with all related codes and regulations, including accessibility codes and guidelines. Contractor Resident Engineers assist the Designer/Consultant Team to schedule/coordinate all on site testing and ensure that all tests are conducted properly. Resident Engineers maintain accurate project records, ensure that contractor as-builts are up-to-date, assist with the oversight of MEP and Enclosure Commissioning, utility incentives, punch list, project close-out and delivery/turn-over from construction to user agency operations.

This is a contract position. Contractor Resident Engineers participate in Facility Performance Evaluations and the preparation of the general contractor performance evaluation.

Multiple contract engineer positions open at statewide project locations; contract with good prospect for extensions.

Posting remains online until all positions are filled.

Up to 5 days sick leave per year based on hours worked.

This position is not eligible for telework.

*Please include resume with submission to be considered for this position.

External Applicants should have a minimum of a BS/BA degree in Engineering, Architecture or a field providing equivalent expertise and at least five (5) years related experience. A minimum of ten years (10) supervisory construction experience will be considered in lieu of a BS/BA degree.

Qualified applicants will possess a thorough knowledge of building construction methods and familiarity with applicable state/federal codes. Licensed Construction Supervisor preferred but not required.

An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Females, minorities, veterans, and persons with disabilities are ecouraged to apply.

The Commonwealth is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, veteran status, or any other basis covered by appropriate law.  Research suggests that qualified women, Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC) may self-select out of opportunities if they don't meet 100% of the job requirements.  We encourage individuals who believe they have the skills necessary to thrive to apply for this role.
