Unlike the Supervising Building Service Engineer, the Lead Building Service Engineer spends most of the time working as a skilled Building Service Engineer but has ancillary lead work and project planning responsibilities. In the absence of the Supervising Building Service Engineer, the Lead will perform those duties as well. The primary focus of the Lead Building Engineer will be in the following areas: Operate, maintain, service, install, troubleshoot, repair and inspect a full range of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, mechanical, and related systems and components throughout the campus facilities.
This is a key position which cares for campus buildings and systems to support the University's mission, vision, and values in higher education. This position will interact with a diverse group of individuals. The Lead Building Service Engineer works well in a team environment and understands the balance of sharing duties, taking ownership, and will take the initiative to complete tasks as needed. This position takes pride in every aspect of their work to create and maintain an excellent learning environment at Cal State University Fullerton. A Lead Building Service Engineer thrives in a university environment where staff are empowered for personal growth and supported in professional growth. Other duties as assigned.
