Description: The Building Engineer Program provides a Facilities Services staff memberin each high school, and a portion of a staff member’s weekly time in each middle schooland elementary school, for the general upkeep and maintenance of the school facility.Many of the Building Engineers are able to provide quick turnaround on minormaintenance issues that arise at the schools. For more complex issues, BuildingEngineers are able to create a work order that will bring more specific assistance to anissue.c. Impact of eliminating the Building Engineer Program (31 positions):i. Elimination of 17 of the 31 positions in the program. The 14 remaining positions,as well as Materials funds, would be redistributed to the HVAC, Electrical andPlumbing shops to offset the workload increases anticipated due to this action.1.

Schools would have less assistance with minor maintenance issuesiii. Schools would face potential longer turnaround time in having minormaintenance issues resolvediv. Maintenance issues of convenience may no longer be completed by Office ofFacilities Services employeesd. Filling of repurposed positionsi. Facilities Services will create the needed positions in the HVAC shop to supportthe maintenance needs of the schools. In order to fill these positions with themost qualified displaced employees, we propose to make these job positionsavailable to only those employees who are scheduled to be displaced from theirpositions within the Building Engineer program. This would allow the potentiallydisplaced employees, but not other existing Facilities Services employees, tocompete for the available positions.35
