<p class="MsoNormal">Hey everyone – Alabama needs a little help. Our Military Department is asking to establish a class series that would include real property, master planning and installation reporting. After spending a whole day with them, I’m still not
sure what they do, what they should be paid, or what qualifications are needed. Any help you can give me is appreciated – job descriptions, salary ranges , levels in your series, etc. Alabama has maybe 10-12 people in all 3 area so of course they are wanting
workers, sr. workers , supervisors, managers and deputy directors levels. According to Alabama’s Military Department, all state military departments must do these 3 functions as it’s how money is allocated to the states. So I’m hoping some of y’all have
a match or at least something I can use to get started. The 3 areas are below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Real Property</b> – similar to property inventory and requires incumbents to enter into PRIDE which is a database developed by the National Guard and is used by all states. Requires an audit of 20% of the buildings, structures, linear
structures and land and details of in service date through retirement of assets. Military is proposing just a HS degree. I think experience in construction or property inventory would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Master Planning –</b> right now there is an engineer over this (not certified) develops the 25 year master plan for surface maintenance, aviation, readiness and training centers (which I call guard armories). The plan must be updated
every 5 years, do feasibility studies to determine how to properly revitalize the facilities. Oversees major MILCON projects and many smaller projects. Uses a database created by the Military called ENBOSS. I’ve always thought the field of planning called
for a BS in planning and it seems to me that it’s one of those professions where the majority of planners have a masters. I think this is a higher level of complexity than real property – any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Installation Reporting</b> – I personally think real property and installation reporting should be merged but what do I know. Uses ISR and Builder databases developed by the Military. Must inspect every asset every 5 years. The databases
have a workbook that is downloaded and is a step by step guide to what to look for and how to grade an asset. For example, a barracks might get a bad rating every year because the laundry facilities are not attached to the barracks but in a separate building.
While having the laundry in the barracks is preferred, this is not something that would have to be addressed right away and would be lower on the work list. There is an unlicensed mechanical engineer doing this now. I think construction work would be very
helpful, I don’t think an engineering degree would be a minimum requirement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has any matches, close matches, or ideas to would be greatly appreciated
