Retrofit Specialist

A retrofit specialist helps existing buildings work better without tearing them down. You might walk through an older office building, school, or apartment complex to see how its electrical system, heating and cooling, plumbing, windows, and insulation are performing. Then you plan upgrades, coordinate contractors and engineers, manage schedules and budgets, and make sure the finished work meets code and actually saves energy or improves safety. Your days split between job sites, meetings with building owners, and paperwork and drawings.
