Responsibilities

Provide day-to-day leadership, mentorship, and performance management for the Integrated Solutions Project Engineers and Thermal Installation Engineering teams

Collaborate with Project Managers and Program Managers to build realistic engineering schedules and resource forecasts for both Integrated Solutions and Thermal Services opportunities

Own and execute the engineering forecast (NSB, recovery, and resource utilization targets) for both teams; achieve or exceed gross margin and on-time-delivery metrics

Ensure customer-specific standards, specifications, and processes (electrical, mechanical, thermal, controls, BIM/Revit, etc.) are correctly implemented and consistently followed

Actively participate in (or delegate participation to) Engineering/Quoter kick-off calls, Engineer–Installer hand-off calls, and critical customer reviews

Proactively identify, escalate, and support the capture of Potential Change Orders (PCOs) and value-engineering opportunities

Enforce scope control: no work or material shipments beyond quoted scope without written concurrence from the Project Manager and Installation Manager

Own the quality and timeliness of all engineering deliverables (BOMs, drawings, submittals, O&Ms, as-built packages, etc.) prior to release to customers and field teams

Drive standardization and reuse of designs, templates, and tools across Integrated Solutions and Thermal disciplines to improve speed and reduce errors

Champion safety in design and documentation; ensure all deliverables comply with Vertiv safety standards and promote a 'zero-incident' culture

Continuously improve the technical competency of both teams (electrical power distribution, switchgear, UPS, cooling systems, controls integration, energy modeling, etc.) through training, certifications, and knowledge-sharing

Develop individual development plans for direct reports; grow skill sets so engineers consistently exceed productivity, quality, and customer-satisfaction metrics

Partner with peer Engineering Managers and the Services Bid Desk team to improve bid accuracy and win rates

Lead or support process-improvement initiatives that benefit both Integrated Solutions and Thermal delivery

Serve as the primary engineering escalation point for complex Integrated Solutions and Thermal projects
