Job Scope :

The Lead Facility Engineer serves as the primary technical subject matter expert (SME) for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems—particularly HVAC—during major facility construction and expansion projects (230,000+ sq ft plus additional lab buildouts). This role is responsible for ensuring that new facilities are designed, constructed, and commissioned to meet performance, safety, and compliance requirements.

In addition to capital project responsibilities, the Lead Facility Engineer will provide high-level technical oversight of existing facilities, advising junior staff and aligning operational decisions with long-term reliability and efficiency goals.

As GenScript grows its U.S. footprint, having robust, scalable infrastructure is essential. This role offers a rare opportunity to design foundational systems for how we manage equipment and facilities, while also driving in-house maintenance capability, energy efficiency, and cost optimization. Your leadership will directly influence operational resilience, response time, and long-term cost control.

Details : This is a full-time role based onsite in Piscataway, NJ.

The estimated salary range is $90,000 - $105,000, based on experience.

Primary Responsibilities :

  • Serve as the HVAC / MEP technical lead for major capital projects, from design through commissioning.
  • Review and validate design documents, technical specifications, and contractor submittals for compliance with project requirements, codes, and best practices.
  • Coordinate with architects, engineers, and contractors to resolve design or field issues and ensure alignment with operational needs.
  • Oversee installation, testing, and commissioning of MEP systems, ensuring performance verification and turnover documentation are complete.
  • Support construction scheduling, cost control, and quality management, in collaboration with the Senior Construction Manager.
  • Lead and document punch list resolution for MEP scope.
  • Conduct periodic inspections and assessments of major building systems to identify risks or improvement opportunities.
  • Provide technical guidance to junior facilities staff and vendors managing day-to-day maintenance.
  • Lead the development and oversight of preventive maintenance plans for all facility-owned equipment (e.g., air handlers, boilers, pumps, compressors).
  • Set standards for CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) usage and review work order trends, costs, and completion rates for improvement opportunities.
  • Oversee the planning and supervision of facility routines, preventive maintenance, and operational readiness across all sites.
  • Perform related strategic and technical work as assigned.

Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil / Structural Engineering, Architectural / Building Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • 4-6+ years of relevant experience in facilities / MEP engineering, construction, or capital projects within industrial, life sciences, or manufacturing environments. Includes experience in HVAC preventative maintenance, balancing, assessment, and knowledge of fabrication techniques.
  • 2+ years in a technical lead or supervisory capacity.
  • Proven experience as an HVAC / MEP SME on large capital projects (design review, field coordination, installation oversight, commissioning).
  • Experience with AutoCAD and MS Office.
  • Ability to read and interpret drawings, specs, and submittals, and coordinate RFIs / field changes.
  • Strong knowledge of the building process, construction principles, relevant codes, and industry standards.
  • Knowledge of controls and BMS (Building Management Systems).
  • Demonstrated ability to set up and oversee preventive maintenance strategies for mission-critical equipment.
  • Willingness to respond to urgent project or operational needs during and outside of normal working hours.
  • Preferred

  • Experience in construction administration, commissioning, and startup of HVAC and mechanical / plumbing systems.
  • Experience in commissioning and system startup.
  • Understanding of EAV (Exhaust Air Valve), fume hoods, and ventilation requirements in specialized facilities.
  • Plumbing, HVAC and general contracting certifications are preferred.
  • We're looking for Someone Who

  • Builds systems, not just reacts to problems — you design processes that prevent recurring issues.
  • Thinks like an owner — proactive, reliable, and focused on long-term outcomes.
  • Leads with clarity and empathy — your team knows where they're going and feels supported.
  • Communicates across levels — from technician to senior leadership, you know how to align.
