About The Position

Credence seeks a senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer to support the Rapid Sustainment Office (AFLCMC/RO) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The RSO advances technologies that reduce sustainment costs and improve readiness, identifying, maturing, and transitioning technologies with measurable readiness, cost, and usability impacts. The engineer will support facility and infrastructure project programming, design, acquisition, construction oversight, and quality assurance. Work includes developing scopes, cost estimates, programming and approval documents, reviewing designs and contractor submittals, and assisting government personnel with project management and field oversight. The role also performs planning and design work for new construction, renovations, and improvements to real-property facilities and utility systems, applying mechanical engineering knowledge to systems such as plumbing, HVAC, fire suppression, control and alarm systems, and IICS. The position supports project programming and engineering through detailed scopes of work, AACE Class III cost estimates, project approval documents, and project-specific entries and reports in NEXGEN. It also contributes to project prioritization and fiscal-year recommendations aligned with Air Force facility investment strategies. The engineer must not perform inherently governmental activities or represent the Government for contracting purposes.
