What Your Job Will Be LikeAs the leader of the Design, Utilities & Energy group (4930), you will guide a high-impact organization responsible for delivering essential facilities and infrastructure services that directly support Sandias mission. This senior management role oversees four departments:
In-house Design (IHD), In-house Construction (IHC), Facilities Express, and Energy, Architecture, & CADD.
Your organization includes approximately 130 employees across multiple disciplines, including engineers, architects, interior designers, CADD operators, energy professionals, project managers, planners, administrators, and craft workers. You will lead a management team of four managers and five team leaders.
Formed just three years ago, the group has evolved rapidly to bring in-house design, construction, and facilities services together under one team. Today, these teams perform about 60% of all non-capital facilities and infrastructure projects, representing nearly $10M annually. The energy management team also plays a critical role in conserving energy and advancing resilient, reliable solutions that support Sandias mission. A major current initiative includes the renovation of the building automation system (BAS) to modernize controls for building assets and systems.
This is a pivotal leadership opportunity. Over the past three years, the organization has helped create a faster, more cost-effective model for mission delivery. Going forward, the challenge is to refine that model, identify the right balance of value, and sustain a high-performing organization that can meet Sandias growing national security demands. Success will require a strong focus on innovation, efficiency, safety, security, quality, and speed, with AI, automation, and data analytics playing an increasingly important role.
Near-Term Priorities
- Maintain the right capabilities and align resources with Sandias highest-priority mission work.
- Build strong relationships across the division to strengthen collaboration and operate as one integrated team.

- Develop organizational metrics that measure health, productivity, value delivered, and impact to the Labs.
- Set and monitor quality standards to ensure work meets Prime Contract requirements and professional industry standards.
- Shape long-range strategy by establishing goals, building a strong organizational culture, and supporting professional growth and development.
- Lead A&E and contractor service-delivery augmentation, including policy, process, training, work intake, prioritization, and matrixed partner integration.
- Provide senior leadership by aligning the centers mission with division and laboratory priorities, managing performance and risk, empowering managers, allocating resources, partnering across organizations, and leading through change.
