60 Gft. Electrical Engineer Mep Jobs Hiring Near You

GFT is looking for an MEP Building Assessor to join our team!

 

The MEP Building Assessor conducts on-site condition assessments of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems for large Facility Condition Assessment portfolios. The assessments are visual only. This role evaluates the current condition, remaining useful life, and repair needs of existing facilities. This includes identifying deficiencies and documenting observed conditions. These findings are communicated through detailed field notes, supporting photographs and completion of data entry or reporting following fieldwork. The position supports an hourly, as-needed workforce model aligned to fluctuating project demands; work will not be scheduled at full-time capacity, and compensation will apply only to assigned work hours.

 

MEP items to identify and visually assess:

• Mechanical: HVAC units, boilers, chillers, pumps, ductwork, ventilation, controls
• Electrical: switchgear, transformers, panels, breakers, lighting, generators, fire alarm
• Plumbing: water piping, valves, backflow preventers, water heaters, fixtures, sanitary and storm drainage
• Fire Protection: sprinklers, risers, fire pumps, standpipes, fire/smoke dampers

The ideal candidate possesses experience performing facility condition assessments, property condition assessments, engineering evaluations, commissioning reviews, asset management surveys, or similar building system evaluations. Candidates must be capable of recognizing system deficiencies, identifying deferred maintenance, estimating remaining useful life, assessing operational condition, and supporting repair and replacement recommendations. Experience documenting findings using mobile field technology and standardized assessment methodologies is highly desirable.

In the capacity, the successful candidate will be responsible for the following:

Field assessment

• Visually assess MEP systems cited above.
• Identify deficiencies, performance issues, end-of-life indicators, and operational risks, and document findings clearly with detailed notes and photos.
• Coordinate with structural/architectural assessors to provide a complete building-level assessment narrative. 

Data capture, QA/QC, and reporting support

• Use of GFT-provided devices, GFT SharePoint, and standardized assessment application tools to collect, organize, upload, and manage field findings.
• Respond to Quality Review comments on your post-field data entry and submission to streamline final reporting.

Travel & logistics

• Participate in travel rotations (typical Sunday-Friday field week) at a frequency of one to two times per month with remote reporting weeks in between; longer rotations may occur for remote locations.
• Maintain safe work practices and comply with all site requirements and installation protocols.
• Travel expenses will be covered including airfare, lodging, and meals/per diem per applicable rates/policy.

What you will bring to our firm: 

• A minimum of 5 years' relevant field experience evaluating mechanical and electrical systems in buildings of various size and use.
• Ability to identify typical failure modes and condition indicators for MEP components.
• Strong documentation skills; ability to communicate technical findings clearly.
• Willingness and ability to travel throughout the country for field assessments.
• Proficiency with field technology, including mobile data collection tools, SharePoint-based workflows, and structured reporting platforms; candidates who are novice technology users in the field may not be the right fit for this role.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven field environment with changing project needs and travel schedules.
• Ability to remain fully engaged during field assignments, with focused attention on inspections, documentation, and project requirements throughout scheduled field time.
• PE license (Mechanical or Electrical) or equivalent advanced technical credential/experience. License is not required with adequate experience.

Compensation:

The pay range for this hourly, as-needed role is $55.00-$65.00 per hour. Compensation is based on assigned, approved hours worked and is dependent upon experience and geographic location. Work is not guaranteed on a full-time basis, and this position is not for full-time hire.
