1. Site Assessment and Vetting (Technical & Operational)

• Rapid Site Inspection: Lead comprehensive, fast-turnaround site assessments and property inspections, often under aggressive deadlines, to evaluate the condition and capacity of all major building systems (MEP, structural, envelope, security).
• Risk Identification: Identify and quantify facility risks, including non-compliance issues, life safety concerns, needed code upgrades, and necessary deferred maintenance that must be addressed prior to or immediately following site handover.
• Facilities Suitability: Assess the existing building infrastructure's ability to support Waymo's specialized operational needs, working closely with the Electrical Design Engineer on power capacity (e.g., EV charging, server loads).
• OpEx/CapEx Forecasting: Develop accurate preliminary estimates for required initial capital expenditures and projected operating expenses (OpEx) for the ABM service lines based on the site's condition and scope of work.

2. Reporting and Decision Support

• Due Diligence Reporting: Author and deliver clear, concise, and executive-level due diligence reports that summarize findings, quantify financial risks, and provide Go/No-Go recommendations to ABM leadership and the Senior Project Manager.
• Data Integration: Coordinate with the Project Drafter to ensure any available or new documentation (surveys, existing drawings) is accurately logged and stored for future use.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Interface with Waymo's real estate, legal, and facilities teams, as well as third-party consultants (e.g., environmental, structural), to coordinate all due diligence activities.

3. Transition Planning

• Handover Strategy: Define a clear scope of work (SOW) based on the due diligence findings to guide the initial project planning, ensuring critical facility upgrades are incorporated into the rapid deployment schedule.
• Budget Alignment: Ensure the CapEx budget derived from the due diligence findings is seamlessly transitioned into the project execution budget managed by the Senior Project Manager.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil), Facilities Management, Construction Management, or a related technical field.
• Relevant professional certification (e.g., P.E., CFM, or relevant trade license) is highly desirable.
• At least 7 years of progressive experience in technical due diligence, commercial real estate facilities assessment, building condition assessments (BCA), or facilities consulting.
• Deep, practical knowledge across all major commercial building systems (HVAC, fire/life safety, building automation systems, electrical distribution).
• Attributes: Exceptional investigative, analytical, and negotiation skills. Must possess the ability to make high-stakes, data-driven decisions quickly and communicate findings effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
• Able to travel extensively, often on short notice, up to 75% of the time to perform on-site assessments across the Waymo expansion region.
