Facility Condition Assessor/Inspector

Scout is seeking Facility Condition Assessors/Inspectors. The work will likely require up to 70% of your time traveling to military installations to perform facility condition assessments across the nation for up to two weeks at a time, with breaks between trips. Candidates must have ~5 years experience in conducting facility condition assessments or equivalent formal trade school education/experience in plumbing, roofing, mechanical systems, exteriors, roofing, fire protection, and/or electrical systems. Familiarity with BUILDER software is desired, but not required, should the candidate be willing and able to learn how to use the BUILDER software. A PE is also not required. This is an hourly or potentially full-time position, depending on the candidate's wishes and Scout’s needs. Candidates can be located anywhere in the nation and can work out of their home.

Your Primary Responsibilities Will Include:

• Conduct an inventory of client facilities properly classifying building components in accordance with ASTM UNIFORMAT II.
• Perform assessments of client facilities using professional expertise and judgment to determine physical condition and conformance with specifications and building codes.
• Experience using facility condition assessment software. Knowledge of BUILDER™ web-based Sustainment Management System (SMS) software application developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) is highly desirable; however, Scout will train good candidates in the use of this software.
• Use of computer tablets with built-in cameras (e.g., MS Surface Pro) to document building system conditions (mechanical or electrical systems and subcomponents; architectural finishes, etc.) encountered during assessments and providing justification for determination of the physical condition.
• Work under direct supervision and in accordance with instructions and standard practices.
• Physical ability to inspect large complexes at fast pace (assessors typically walk up to 5 miles per day) and the employee must occasionally lift and/ or move up to 40 pounds.

You Are Qualified Because You Have:

• 5+ years’ experience in conducting facility condition assessments or formal trade school education in plumbing, roofing, mechanical systems.
• Ability to travel, up to 70% or more (primarily throughout the United States, but potentially overseas).
• Valid U.S. passport or ability to quickly get one.
• Good technical writing skills required.
• Good mathematical aptitude required.
• Ability to read engineering drawings, specifications, and inspection instructions.
• Will be required to perform other duties as requested, directed or assigned.

Other Qualifications (NOT REQUIRED):

• Degree/certification in architecture, engineering, construction management, or other applicable field
• International Code Council (ICC) certification
• ASHRAE Level I and Level II energy auditor
• Professional engineering registration
• Military veterans with equivalent military experience are encouraged to apply
