Your posting for Sr. Facilities Specialist indicates requirements that closely match my background and expertise. It is a
pleasure to enclose my resume to provide a summary of my qualifications and experience for your review.
I retired as a Critical Facilities Engineer from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) with in the Department of
Defense which included 24 years as the Branch Chief, managing the Computer Facilities Engineering Management Branch.
Immediately after retirement, I was recruited by a government contractor as a Facility Engineer to oversee several multi mil
dollar Capitol renovation and up grade projects to the Tier 4 data facility. In Oct 2012, I was contacted for a “hard to fill”
requirement and was subsequently recruited by Parsons Engineering as the “Senior Construction Inspector; Independent
Verification & Validation, with an O&M Bridge team for the new construction and turnover of a $2 billion, 1.5 mil. Sq. ft. Tier
IV Classified Government Data Center Facility in Utah.
Throughout my career I have maintained the highest performance standards within a diverse range of engineering disciplines in
applying new developments and judgments resolving complex or obscure problems. I have streamlined maintenance
requirements for critical environmental support equipment and systems by developing preventive maintenance frequencies and
criteria, quality assurance audits and evaluations. I have reduced utility and maintenance operating costs and have enjoyed
successful conservation accomplishments while assuring mission essential systems were operating at peak performance and
efficiencies.
My early background began as a family owned electrical construction contractor and my mid career hands on experience in
maintaining UPS, HVAC and emergency power generator back up systems is extensive. My Facility Management experience is
also inclusive of Project Management, Quality Assurance, Contract Management and Safety. My professional experience
includes expressed corporate knowledge to consult, advise and direct new construction projects as well as the maintenance and
repair of complex data center environmental support equipment. I bring extensive Team and Project Leadership with a broad
knowledge of engineering concepts, principles, and practices applicable to the required duties of critical facility maintenance
management positions.
A demonstrated capacity towards strategic planning and procedure development for comprehensive Critical
Environmental Support Systems Equipment Preventive Maintenance.
A career long history of innovative concepts for successful design build and installation projects to improve
dependability, reliability and efficiencies.
Certified as a Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR)
Certified as a Quality Assurance Surveillance Evaluator (QASP)
Environmental Heath & Safety Manager (EHS). Experience with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health
Standards) and OHESS (Occupational Health, Environmental & Safety Service) applying safety programs and
regulation compliance

In order to manage complex critical environmental equipment systems and provide 99.9% dependability and reliability, I
bring a proven track record as a Mission Critical Facility Engineer, who has had a career of diligent and successfully established
achievements of both short and long range objectives. I bring a background of unique depth of experience to plan, design and
specify projects and equipment, install and troubleshoot systems and document the work. I understand the critical nature of
successful proactive preventive maintenance towards the operational integrity of all facilities equipment. I strive to lead, mentor
and develop employees with a vision which will inspire them to be what they know they could be, with a legacy of professional
integrity and the pride of quality of purpose that reflects well on the character of the company. I am hoping to find new
opportunities in companies like yours which intrigues me as an organization that realizes the importance of inspiring teams to
reach new heights. This very type of vision has defined and propelled noteworthy successes during my career. While the
complexities and responsibilities of my experience in national defense and security for a critical Tier IV clean room computer
facility is likely to far exceed most Facility Manager positions, I am looking forward to discussing your objectives and how we can
work together to accomplish them.
Thank You for your consideration, Paul Johnson
