Job Summary

As a Facilities Engineering Coordinator 3 or 4 , you will be a key integrator between facilities engineering, maintenance, operations, and external contractors to ensure that construction, installation, rearrangement, and maintenance activities are executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with engineering standards and regulatory requirements.

You will coordinate day-to-day facilities and equipment work across the Elkton campus, maintain close contact with contractor representatives, track project progress and costs, and verify that work is performed to specification.

In this role, you will support the planning and execution of building modifications, equipment installations, and preventive maintenance activities, helping to maximize facility reliability and availability for production, test, and R&D operations.

At the higher level, you will serve as a subject-matter resource for coordinating complex work scopes, resolving field issues, and guiding lower-level staff in construction coordination, documentation, and contractor oversight.

Core Technical Responsibilities:

• Construction and Installation Coordination
• Coordinate the construction, installation, relocation, or modification of building systems, process equipment, and infrastructure within assigned areas.
• Maintain daily contact with contractor representatives, clarify scope and design intent, and assist in resolving discrepancies between field conditions and design documents.
• Support pre-job planning meetings, job hazard analyses, and site readiness reviews to ensure safety and compliance before work begins.
• Work Execution Oversight
• Verify that labor, materials, tools, and equipment used on projects align with approved plans, specifications, and purchase orders.
• Monitor work progress, perform in-process and final inspections, and confirm conformance to engineering standards, applicable codes, building techniques, and safety practices.
• Estimate percent completion of work activities and provide regular status updates on schedule, cost, and risk to designated project leads, facility engineers, and management.
• Documentation, Cost Tracking, and Reporting
• Assist in maintaining accurate records of as-built conditions, redlines, and close-out documentation for facilities projects.
• Track work orders, labor hours, and material usage in the CMMS and/or project tracking tools; support variance and trend analysis.
• Prepare concise progress summaries and cost-status reports for supervisors, facility engineers, and program stakeholders.
• Contractor, Vendor, and Stakeholder Interface
• Coordinate site access, escorting (as required), and daily work planning for contractors performing construction, installation, or maintenance activities.
• Interface with operations, maintenance, EHS, security, and program teams to minimize downtime and disruptions during facility work.
• Support onboarding of new contractors by communicating site expectations, safety practices, and facility procedures.
• Safety, Compliance, and Quality
• Ensure that work under your coordination complies with OSHA, NFPA, local building codes, HOPs/HAZOPs, and site safety requirements.
• Participate in safety walks, incident reviews, and corrective-action implementation related to construction and maintenance work.
• Help enforce lockout/tagout, housekeeping, and other safety controls in coordination with maintenance and EHS.
• Level Differentiation
• Coordinator 3:
• Coordinates moderately complex work packages with limited supervision; resolves routine issues and escalates more complex problems to facility engineers and managers.
• Applies established procedures and standards to typical construction, installation, and maintenance scopes.
• Coordinator 4:
• Leads coordination of complex, multi-trade work scopes; serves as a resource to others in resolving field issues and sequencing constraints.
• May act as a lead for lower-level coordinators or technicians, assisting in training, assigning tasks, and checking work for completeness and accuracy.
• Independently adapts procedures and approaches to non-routine situations and evolving field conditions.

This requisition may be filled with either Facilities Engineering Coordinator 3 or Facilities Engineering Coordinator 4, depending on years of experience and qualifications.
