Job Summary
The Structures Shop Supervisor will lead and manage structural maintenance, repair, and minor construction activities across the installation — ensuring facility integrity, code/compliance adherence, timely preventive & corrective maintenance, and support to mission-critical operations. The Supervisor ensures assets meet lifecycle requirements, supports readiness, and integrates structural shop output within the broader base maintenance program. This aligns with KBR’s base-wide facility management and asset sustainment mission under contract.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Supervise, mentor, and lead the Structures Shop workforce (carpentry, masonry, roofing, metal fabrication, general structural trades).
- Develop shop work schedules (daily/weekly/monthly), assign tasks, prioritize jobs (preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, minor construction), and allocate personnel/equipment accordingly.
- Ensure coordination with other base shops (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, pavements, etc.) and the Customer Service Unit (CSU) to deconflict work sequences and minimize mission impacts.
- Oversee execution of PM and CM tasks: structural repairs, building envelope (walls, roofs, doors/windows), interior fixtures (drywall, ceilings, finishing), walkways, railings, canopies, shelters, and other real-property structural elements.
- Review and interpret work orders, plans, specifications, and drawings; provide technical guidance and quality direction to structural crews.
- Manage shop assets: tools, equipment, vehicles; ensure proper accountability, maintenance, and safe usage.
- Implement quality control / quality assurance (QC/QA) processes for shop-performed work and oversee inspections as required by contract or force-protection protocols.
- Lead safety programs: risk assessments, job hazard analyses (JHAs), PPE enforcement, safe work practices (e.g., fall protection, confined spaces).
- Provide status updates and KPIs to management (e.g., PM compliance rate, backlog, labor utilization, work-order closure rate).
- Coordinate with project management, asset management, contract oversight (COR/QA), and other stakeholders to integrate structural shop output into base-wide maintenance and recapitalization efforts.
- Support external inspections and audits; prepare documentation, track corrective actions, and help ensure installation-wide compliance.
- Support contingency tasks as required under contract or directed by base leadership, ensuring minimal disruption to base operations.
- Identify training needs, ensure personnel maintain required skills and certifications, and enforce compliance with recurring training requirements.
- Daily use of planning, organizational, multitasking abilities, and communication with a focus on detail, accuracy and quality of work and to coordinate work across multiple disciplines and stakeholders.
