Your facility can’t go down. But the people who knew how to run it are leaving.
When the team running a critical facility changes, what they knew about the building leaves with them. I step in and keep it running, then hand it back with procedures your next crew can follow.
For owners and operators of facilities that can’t go down: military and government installations, on-site power plants and utilities, and large facilities moving from construction into daily operations.
Where critical facilities slip.
If one of these sounds familiar, that’s where to start.
- 01
Your site lead just left
The person who knew the building’s history is gone, and the replacement won’t start for months. Until then, whoever is on shift makes the call at 2 a.m.
- 02
The building is finished. The team isn’t ready.
The vendors who installed the systems are about to leave. The crew taking over has a binder of manufacturer paperwork, not procedures written for this building.
- 03
Backup power has never carried the real load
The monthly generator test proves the engine starts. It doesn’t prove the system can carry the facility, or that anyone on shift knows how to transfer power by hand.
- 04
An inspection is coming and the records won’t hold up
Work orders show closed on screen that were never finished in the field. The maintenance history won’t match what an inspector finds on the floor.
When owners call me
Same rates as the Ready Room. Each monthly option is a block of hours; extra time is billed at the off-retainer rate of $250/hr. Full-Time has a 90-day minimum, and travel, room and board are paid by the client.
Each month I review your maintenance records, test results, and vendor reports, stay in touch with your site lead, and flag gaps before they become an outage or an audit finding.
- How it runs
- Mostly remote. Guidance only, with limited decision-making authority.
- You get
- A monthly review and a written note to the owner.
I work with your site team as your representative: writing procedures for your building, setting up safe test plans, and coordinating your vendors so your own people can run the systems.
- How it runs
- Remote and on-site. I act within the authority you give me in writing.
- You get
- Site procedures, test plans, and a monthly summary.
I step in as your temporary site lead for operational readiness at turnover, a phase-in, or a recovery, then hand the facility to your permanent team.
- How it runs
- On-site schedule set in the agreement. My authority is written down; you keep the final say.
- You get
- A weekly report to the owner and a written handover plan.
I’m on your site full time as the interim site lead until your permanent manager is in place, then I hand the facility over.
- How it runs
- On-site, 40 hours a week. 90-day minimum. Extra hours at $250/hr. Travel, room and board paid by the client.
- You get
- Daily presence, a weekly report to the owner, and a written handover plan.

How I work
Veteran-led U.S. company, available worldwide. My work has taken me across eight states, Korea and the Pacific, and the Middle East, including Jordan and Qatar.
Travel, room and board are paid by the client.
I’m your only consultant, and I do the work myself. A small back-office team handles the admin behind me.
What I don’t do
Sign engineering drawings or act as commissioning authority. I’m not a licensed professional engineer.
Serve as a hospital’s director of record. I’m not a CHFM and haven’t run a Joint Commission-accredited plant. In hospitals, I work beside your credentialed safety officer.
Replace your staff or become your permanent operator. The facility stays yours to run.
What to expect
I keep the facility running through the change and leave it with procedures written for your building. I don’t promise a facility that never fails. I make sure the people on shift know what to do when something does.
The building doesn’t wait for a new hire.
Fifteen minutes. I’ll tell you in five whether I can help, and I’ll tell you straight if I can’t.
