Establish utility baselines, key performance indicators, consumption dashboards and reporting processes to identify trends, anomalies, savings opportunities, operational risks and investment priorities.
Use CMMS, BMS, metering, utility billing, energy management and facilities data to support predictive maintenance, recommissioning, retro-commissioning, demand management and building systems optimization.
Prepare recommendations, business cases and reports related to energy conservation, utility procurement, utility rate impacts, building automation improvements, metering, capital renewal, emissions reduction and operating efficiencies.
Hold facilities management contractors, consultants and service providers accountable for utility performance, building systems optimization, corrective action plans and measurable service outcomes.

Ensure contractors meet safety, compliance, documentation and quality requirements.
Leverage and understand key performance indicators and metrics to determine if vendors and contacts are performing well, optimized within a minimum of agreed-upon terms.

Budgeting, Compliance and Reporting

Develop, monitor and forecast operating budgets, utilities costs and contracted services expenditures within the assigned portfolio.
Ensure work is completed in accordance with codes, legislation, institutional policies and documentation standards.

Lead the preparation and submission of reporting to Alberta Infrastructure and Alberta Advanced Education, including infrastructure updates, capital project reporting and required submissions (e.g. BLIMMS), in collaboration with the Director of Campus Management, Finance and relevant stakeholders.
Oversee the collection, validation and submission of energy and utility consumption, generation and cost data to Statistics Canada and other regulatory bodies on a monthly and annual basis.
Ensure government information systems (e.g. Alberta Infrastructure facilities or asset management platforms such as VFA or successor systems) are maintained with current and accurate data related to infrastructure condition, renovations, upgrades and lifecycle activities.
