Careers

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.

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.

• 5+ years’ experience in conducting facility condition assessments or formal trade school education in plumbing, roofing, mechanical systems.
