Building Automation Project Manager

I'm partnering with my client, a fast-growing cleantech SaaS company focused on reducing energy waste in buildings, to hire a Building Automation Project Manager in the New York metro area. This role blends engineering, building automation, and hands-on field work to ensure client buildings are fully optimized and integrated with their platform. The work directly supports major energy-reduction and decarbonization efforts across NYC.

What You'll Do:

• Visit client buildings to assess mechanical systems, identify optimization opportunities, and scope projects-including energy savings estimates, install requirements, and incentive pathways

• Provide technical support during the sales process and help shape project proposals

• Lead installation and commissioning from kickoff through completion-overseeing schedules, subcontractors, budgets, and communication

• Integrate on-site controls with the cloud platform and verify successful data/communication flow

• Serve as the technical authority during final commissioning and customer handoff

• Produce drawings, documentation, and close-out materials

• Act as a technical escalation point for active buildings, assisting with troubleshooting and performance tuning

• Collaborate with Sales, Operations, and Product to refine tools, processes, and customer experience

What We're Looking For:

• Engineering background (HVAC, mechanical, electrical, or building automation focus preferred)

• 5-8 years in MEP engineering, BAS design, controls installation, or commissioning

• Strong understanding of HVAC controls and building automation

• Comfortable traveling throughout NYC

• Excellent communication and coordination skills across clients and internal teams

• Self-starter mindset with the ability to learn quickly and thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment

• Proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to improve internal workflows

• Experience with Niagara Tridium, controls commissioning, or energy retrofit projects is strongly preferred

Why This Role Matters:
You'll play a key part in scaling a mission-driven company that is actively reducing emissions in multifamily buildings, helping operators cut waste, save money, and reduce their carbon footprint. It's a high-impact, high-autonomy role during a major growth phase.

Additional Perks:

• Comprehensive health benefits

• Hybrid schedule (3 days in office + regular on-site building work)

• Training allowance for career development

• Equity participation

• Team culture centered on purpose, sustainability, and innovation
