Resolve any issues that cannot be resolved by other regional engineers or consultants. Where deficiencies are noted, this individual also directs necessary changes and furnishes assistance required. Perform internal fire protection and life safety review of proposed offered space (GSA Form 12000, a valid building certificate of occupancy, scaled floor plans, and maintenance records). Investigate fire incidents with a level of effort in relationship to the severity of the fire incident. Work cooperatively with Federal and state investigators as a team to determine the cause and origin of fires in GSA-controlled space. Evaluate Regional fire incident data on an annual basis, including unwanted fire alarms, to determine any similarities and trends. Provide training to GSA Facility Managers, GSA leasing specialists, GSA project managers, GSA personnel, Federal agencies, etc., on various fire protection program activities. Develop and/or review scopes of work for fire protection engineering service contracts. Assist Contracting Officers with contract administration activities for fire protection engineering service contracts. For each job on your resume, provide:
