• Strong understanding of value engineering principles, life-cycle cost analysis, constructability reviews, risk assessment methodologies, and project evaluation techniques.
• Experience reviewing engineering designs, construction plans, technical documentation, and project cost estimates.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical findings and recommendations to diverse audiences.
• Ability to coordinate with multidisciplinary project teams and stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certified Value Specialist (CVS) credential from SAVE International or equivalent value engineering certification.
• Professional Engineer (PE), Registered Architect (RA), Certified Cost Professional (CCP), or related professional credential.
• Experience supporting USACE, FEMA, DoD, GSA, NAVFAC, or other federal design and construction programs.
• Experience participating in formal Value Engineering Studies (VES) and Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) evaluations.
• Knowledge of Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build project delivery methods.
• Experience supporting emergency response, infrastructure recovery, facility restoration, or resiliency programs.

Responsibilities:

• Perform value engineering analyses for engineering, architectural, environmental, and infrastructure projects supporting emergency response and recovery operations.
• Review project designs, plans, specifications, cost estimates, schedules, and technical documentation to identify opportunities for value improvement.
• Conduct life-cycle cost analyses, constructability reviews, risk assessments, and alternative evaluations to support informed decision-making.
• Facilitate value engineering studies, workshops, and multidisciplinary review sessions in accordance with project requirements and federal guidance.
• Develop and evaluate alternative design concepts, construction approaches, materials, and operational solutions that improve project performance and efficiency.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, recommendations, and supporting documentation detailing value engineering findings and projected benefits.
• Coordinate with project managers, architects, engineers, environmental professionals, and government stakeholders to review and implement approved recommendations.
• Support project planning, budgeting, cost control, and design optimization efforts throughout the project lifecycle.
• Monitor implementation of approved value engineering recommendations and evaluate resulting project outcomes.
• Maintain current knowledge of value engineering methodologies, federal guidance, industry best practices, and infrastructure resiliency principles.

Skills:

The ideal candidate must possess strong expertise in value engineering, life-cycle cost analysis, cost optimization, and project evaluation methodologies to support infrastructure recovery and resiliency projects. The ability to analyze complex engineering designs, construction plans, schedules, and project costs is essential for identifying opportunities to improve performance while maintaining quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. The candidate should demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills to evaluate alternatives, assess risks, and develop practical recommendations that maximize project value. Experience conducting constructability reviews, facilitating multidisciplinary workshops, and preparing technical reports is critical for supporting successful value engineering studies. Strong communication and presentation skills are required to effectively convey technical findings, facilitate collaboration, and support decision-making among project teams and government stakeholders. Familiarity with federal design and construction programs, USACE project delivery processes, and infrastructure recovery initiatives is highly desirable. The ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary environments and adapt to the fast-paced demands of emergency response and recovery projects is essential for successful performance under the USACE READI contract.
