Field Supervisor - Facilities Condition Assessment

MAAS Companies • Los Angeles, CA

16h • Onsite

About The Position

LAUSD operates over 1,000 school sites across Los Angeles, ranging from historic to modern facilities. The district requires a Field Supervisor to document the condition of every major building system (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, structure, envelope, interiors) across these campuses. This role involves assessing remaining service life, logging findings using a tablet, and contributing data to a capital planning model that influences significant investment decisions. The work is hands-on, requiring judgment and the ability to perform forensic assessments on-site. The Field Supervisor will work independently or in small teams, coordinate with other trade surveyors, and interact with school administrators. Adaptability is key, as the scope may shift due to factors like school schedules, new bond measures, or urgent leadership requests.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management, OR 10+ years of construction experience (four years of experience may substitute for the degree on a year-for-year basis)
• 6+ years of full-time experience working with on-site construction management teams and directly with campus administrators, faculty, and staff
• Deep knowledge of how buildings are built and how they age — you've been in enough crawl spaces, mechanical rooms, and above ceilings to assess condition by sight
• Ability to identify building systems, estimate remaining service life, and recognize failure modes without needing a full teardown
• Comfort with field data collection technology — tablets, mobile apps, cloud-based survey tools
• Ability to work independently, manage your own schedule, and coordinate with distributed teams

Responsibilities

• Field surveys of K-12 campuses to identify and document building systems — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, envelope, interiors
• Condition assessment and remaining service life estimation based on construction knowledge and visual inspection, calibrated to LAUSD standards
• Real-time data entry on tablets or mobile devices with supporting photos and measurements
• Inferring hidden systems based on building age, construction type, code era, and visible access points — you know what's behind walls and above ceilings without opening them
• Collaboration with trade-specific surveyors to gather quantities, measurements, and boilerplate data as needed
• Ad hoc surveys as the district's priorities shift
• Supervision and mentorship of junior survey staff when needed — you're the resource people ask when they don't know the answer

Benefits

• 100% employee-owned through an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan)
• Retirement benefit provided at no cost
• Company share price has more than doubled since plan inception
• Continued growth year over year
• Ownership stake builds the longer you stay
• ESOP participants nationally tend to accumulate 2.5x more in retirement savings than employees at non-ESOP companies
• Stable, funded, and consequential work
