About The Chance

Reporting to the Director of Engineering, the Manager, Engineering & Technical Services provides leadership for technical services, and energy management within Engineering, Facilities Management and Development (FMD). The position leads technical standards, design reviews, building systems performance improvement, commissioning & re/retro commissioning, and engineering support for campus Maintenance/Operations and capital projects. Working collaboratively with project delivery, Maintenance and Operations, and institutional stakeholders, the Manager advances practical initiatives to improve energy and water efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support reliable, maintainable, and sustainable campus infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the Technical Services team and coordinate facilities sustainability and energy management initiatives within Engineering.
- Assist with the development of asset management plans, capital plans, and major maintenance plans by providing technical assessments, scope recommendations, and input on asset condition, renewal needs,



life-cycle costs, and project prioritization, incorporating sustainability, energy efficiency, operational reliability, and maintainability.
- Develop, maintain, and regularly update building and infrastructure asset management plans, including asset inventories, condition assessment data, levels of service, life-cycle models, risk-based renewal forecasts, and deferred maintenance estimates; coordinate with Maintenance and Operations and capital planning to keep asset records current and ensure plans reflect completed work, changing conditions, and institutional priorities.
- Oversee technical investigations, building condition and systems assessments, and feasibility studies, including defining scopes and overseeing external consultants; review findings to identify deficiencies, renewal needs, and opportunities to improve performance and resilience, and translate recommendations into actionable projects.

- Coordinate multidisciplinary reviews of consultant designs, drawings, specifications,



and proposed equipment with the Integrated Infrastructure Delivery and Maintenance and Operations teams for alignment with NAIT’s standards, applicable codes, system integration, and long-term operating needs. External consultants typically prepare design drawings for medium to large projects.
- Provide technical guidance to Maintenance and Operations and other departments on facility-related issues, including building systems troubleshooting, controls optimization, equipment selection, operational improvements, and solutions to infrastructure and service issues during emergencies and ongoing projects, to support reliable, efficient, and continuous service delivery.
- Oversee technical input to commissioning, recommissioning, functional performance testing, and project handover, including verification of building systems performance, operating documentation, and operator training.
- Develop, implement, maintain, and regularly update facilities sustainability and energy management plans, including proposed priorities, performance baselines, measurable targets, and implementation roadmaps for leadership approval.
- Develop and maintain a campus energy audit program, coordinate periodic audits and external consultants, maintain audit records, and integrate findings into energy management plans; prioritize recommendations and track implementation.
- Identify and evaluate energy and water conservation, emissions reduction, electrification, and renewable energy opportunities; develop business cases that consider life-cycle costs, operational impacts, implementation risks, and measurable benefits.
