We have partnered with NASA to support space flight programs for more than 40 years. While the majority of work is directly in support of LaRC, other industry partners and Government agencies may be supported at remote sites as directed by the Contracting Officer (CO). The Center Maintenance, Operations, and Engineering (CMOE) contract comprises of three major categories of work – operations, maintenance, and engineering (OME), as described below. •Maintenance – Research and institutional facility maintenance includes, but not limited to, preventive maintenance, trouble calls, repairs, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Facility Condition Assessment (FCA), and maintenance/operation of central utilities (e.g., electrical power distribution, potable water, storm water drainage) •Operations – Facilities Operations support includes, but not limited to, wind tunnels, laboratories, and test stands testing, instrumentation calibration/repair; plant and utilities (e.g., high pressure air, Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) and Steam Plant); technology development and administration, including, but not limited to, Facility Automation Systems (FAS) and Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) •Engineering – Facility engineering includes, but not limited to, engineering studies, design, construction, construction management, configuration management, tactical engineering, pressure system recertification, project management/planning support
Responsibilities: The successful candidate will join a team to support maintenance activities at NASA LaRC. This work will include identification of repeated causes of failure in support of root cause failure analysis and equipment lifecycle assessments (to include nameplate data verification and failure reporting), as well as electrical equipment/system field verification. Shall follow safety policies and procedures and perform all work according to existing policies and procedures while maintaining a high standard of quality and workmanship in performing the duties. (OSHA Lockout/ Tagout program) is an added advantage. Experience in operating and maintaining electrical distribution systems and/or control circuitry is desirable. Will perform field verification of equipment information as well as failure reporting and other reliability related tasks. Must be able to read relevant technical drawings and specifications. Relevant military training or aviation maintenance training is a plus.
