The Opportunity:

At FOS, it’s all about the people. We’re constantly growing, and that’s where this new opportunity comes in – for an Architectural Assessor (Existing Facilities). This position can be done in any state in the U.S. In this position, the ideal candidate will be able to lead the architectural, structural, and civil portions of facility condition assessments on various asset types including buildings in the healthcare, education, sports, public, and commercial sectors. Ability to assess non-building assets such as bridges, piers, pavement, and sitework is also essential.

Acting as an Architectural Assessor on projects, this person will be responsible for observing, identifying, and documenting all architectural, structural, and civil systems for a given asset, identifying any deficiencies that these systems have, and providing recommendations with budgetary cost estimates for how best to correct the deficiencies. Additionally, Architectural Assessors are responsible for leading and supporting more junior Architectural Assessors on their project team, ensuring work quality for the Architectural discipline, interfacing with clients and their facility staff teams, and supporting the Project Managers in various tasks as assigned.

Your Responsibilities:

• Conduct on-site facility condition assessments as part of a multidisciplinary team on existing buildings and civil assets.
• Evaluate architectural systems such as the building’s structure, walls, roof, windows, doors, interior finishes, and accessibility features
• Evaluate non-building civil systems such as pavement, landscaping, fencing, site elements, and bridges.
• Work with the client and other on-site personnel to assess assets maintaining a typical walk rate ranging between 100,000 to 175,000 building square feet per day
• Provide written technical descriptions of the systems observed and of their deficiencies
• Determine overall condition of each system and its remaining useful life
• Provide recommendations for correction of identified deficiencies
