About The Position

We are seeking a highly experienced and strategically minded Facilities Chief Technical Officer (Facilities CTO) to serve as the principal technical advisor for a MDA facility. The Facilities CTO will support the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on the Integrated Research and Development for Enterprise Solutions (IRES) contract. This senior-level position does not focus on direct line-management of maintenance crews; rather, it is a dedicated advisory and technical oversight role to assist the Stakeholder and Task Integration Manager (STIM) and Deputy STIM in maintaining the facility. Reporting directly to the Deputy STIM, the Facilities CTO serves as a trusted technical counselor on the ground. In this capacity, you will provide independent evaluations and recommendations to both the Deputy STIM and the STIM. Your primary mission is to advise leadership on the technical integrity, modernization, and maintenance strategies of the facility's mission-critical systems ensuring maximum resilience and zero downtime.

Requirements

Must have a bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Information Technology, or a highly related technical discipline.
Must have 10, or more, years of technical experience in critical facilities operations (e.g., defense mission centers, high-security data centers, or secure industrial plants)
Must have 5, or more, years of experience operating in a senior advisory, consulting, or technical oversight capacity.
Must have a proven track record of serving as a trusted technical advisor to senior program leadership (e.g., Deputy STIMs, STIMs, project directors, or military equivalents) on large-scale infrastructure systems.
Must have a deep theoretical and practical understanding of SCADA, BMS, HVAC/chiller systems, diesel generator systems, and automated switchgear.
Must have an active DoW Secret Security Clearance
