Facility Condition Assessment QC Analyst

About the role

Tetra Tech is adding a Facility Condition Assessment QC Analyst to our Asset Management team based in Colorado Springs. This position is intended for a technically minded candidate with practical engineering, construction, facility assessment, or building systems experience who can evaluate the quality, completeness, and reasonableness of field-collected facility data and the deliverable products constructed from it. This position requires the candidate to be a U.S. Citizen due to the projects they will be working on.

Responsibilities

• Perform technical quality control review and analysis of facility condition assessment data, including confirming field observations, asset inventory, system quantities, condition ratings, deficiency characterization, inventory and evidence photographs, and repair/replacement recommendations.
• Manage, validate, and reconcile project data including reports in Excel format, BUILDER/BRED exports using MS Access database containers, field markups, photos and other project reference files used to support QC review and final deliverable construction.
• Use, develop, and optimize queries, scripts, macros and automated checks using tools such as MS SQL Server, Excel, Access, VBA, Python, PowerShell, or similar technologies to identify anomalies and improve QC workflows.
• Conduct inventory and condition assessments of building systems consistent with the UNIFORMAT convention per ASTM E1557, identifying building components, documenting deficiencies, and evaluating whether collected data is reasonable based on system type, age, observed condition, expected service life, and construction context.
• Evaluate whether deliverables created from collected facility data are defensible in the context of established business rules by comparison against field notes, photographs, system descriptions, construction type, age, and expected system behavior; elevate questionable findings to the QC Manager or project team for resolution.
• Field work on-site in both CONUS and OCONUS on trips lasting 1-2 weeks.
• Strict adherence to the Tetra Tech safety policies.
• Use and support US Army Corps of Engineers Sustainment Management Systems, including the BUILDER™ Sustainment Management System (SMS).
• Entry, review, and QC of building inventory and assessments using the BUILDER Remote Entry Database (BRED) application is desired.
• Develop proficiency in management and deployment of in-house tools for field and office use.

Qualifications

• Qualified candidates must have practical technical experience in engineering, construction, facility assessment, building systems and their components, utilities, infrastructure, environmental, civil, mechanical, electrical, architectural, engineering technology, construction management, or a related technical field.
• Candidates must be advanced users of Microsoft (MS) Office applications running on MS Windows workstations.
• More highly qualified candidates will demonstrate the ability to use Excel formulas and macros, Access development, SQL queries, VBA scripting, Python or similar tools to analyze data, automate workflows, and improve QC processes.
• Candidates must demonstrate consistent attention to detail, technical curiosity, and the ability to apply judgment when reviewing field-collected data and the products made from it.
• The role requires the ability to identify incomplete records, unsupported deficiency narratives, missing or mismatched photographs, questionable quantities, duplicate assets, incorrect system assignments and findings that do not align with observed building conditions.
• Candidates must proactively work as part of a multi-disciplinary team located across many offices and time zones and must communicate clearly in speech and writing.
• Limited travel within CONUS will be required for the successful applicant to gain understanding of project data and business rules, building systems, and the field processes used to collect assessment information.
• A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are required to gain access to the government installations where most field work is conducted.
• Knowledge of tools such as BUILDER SMS, BRED, ESRI GIS applications, Python, MS PowerShell, MS SQL Server, AutoDesk AutoCAD, MS Access, Excel Power Query, Power BI, and common programming languages under MS Visual Studio is highly valued.
• Candidates who can write or modify scripts, queries, or automated checks to automate workflows and identify data quality issues are strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of Department of Defense, NASA, USACE, or other federal real property, facility management, asset management, facility condition assessment, and related topics is valued.
• Candidates with prior experience reviewing FCA data, construction documents, building system inventories, or repair/replacement recommendations are strongly preferred.
