Chief Engineer
Account Management – Work Dynamics (Country, Region)
What this job involves:
Prioritizing the facilities’ needs—always
A seasoned expert in the field, the Chief Engineer is on top of all the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and civil works needed in a facility. Likewise, you’ll play an essential function in reducing workplace-related risks by working on maintenance contracts, routine inspections and scheduled down times.
You will be in close contact with local authorities for all facility-related issues. Also part of your scope is to ensure that the facility is in total compliance with all legal and engineering standards. Likewise, you’ll spearhead the implementation of energy programs to cut utility cost.
You’ll assume the role of a senior facilities manager when needed—overseeing small renovation projects from initial phases to completion. You’ll also keep an eye out on the facilities’ engineering systems by periodically inspecting logbooks, checklists and maintenance schedules.
Putting critical plans and reports in place
Planning is a big part of your mandate. In this role, you’ll take charge of planning and managing both engineering and operational budgets and contracts. Your expertise will also be essential in planning and developing a list of spare materials for all installations based on recommendations and inventories.
Performing various audits—including technical, cost savings, risk management and energy management--is part of your job as well. In addition, you’ll strive to keep down time at bay by setting up best practices that promote seamless service delivery to our clients.
Your analytical skills will also come in handy, as the role requires you to file both weekly and monthly reports on maintenance contracts, incident reports and improvement projects.
