full-time Building Automation / BAS Project Manager New York, NY Our client is a growing building systems organization seeking an experienced Building Automation / BAS Project Manager to take ownership of sophisticated commercial controls projects across New York City. This is an opportunity for a technically strong BAS professional to step into a visible leadership role, guide field teams, solve complex controls challenges, and drive projects from early coordination through commissioning and final turnover. The right candidate will bring genuine hands-on controls expertise, not simply general construction project management experience.

This Role Offers:

Competitive base salary, based on experience. Comprehensive benefits, including health and dental coverage, retirement savings, paid time off, and holidays. Company vehicle or transportation allowance to support travel between project locations. Manufacturer training and certification support to continue building technical expertise. Opportunity to lead technically challenging commercial building automation projects throughout New York City.

Focus:

Lead multiple commercial building automation and controls projects, coordinating schedules, field resources, installation priorities, technical deliverables, commissioning, and project completion. Direct controls technicians and subcontractor teams while providing the technical leadership needed to keep field execution safe, efficient, and aligned with project requirements. Partner with mechanical, electrical, engineering, construction, and commissioning stakeholders to coordinate work, address field constraints, and keep projects moving forward. Evaluate project drawings, specifications, controls documentation, wiring information, and sequences to identify requirements and support accurate field execution. Apply hands-on BAS expertise to guide troubleshooting involving controls hardware, system integration, communication networks, programming, startup, and equipment operation. Oversee system verification activities, including point checks, startup coordination, functional testing, commissioning support, cutovers, and final system turnover. Maintain ownership of project administration, including schedules, documentation, RFIs, submittals, scope changes, cost performance, billing coordination, and closeout requirements. Visit active NYC project sites regularly to assess progress and workmanship, resolve technical or coordination issues, and provide leadership to field personnel.

Skill Set:

At least 5 years of direct, hands-on commercial HVAC controls and BAS/BMS experience is required. General project management experience without a technical controls background will not qualify. Direct technical experience working with Distech Controls and Tridium Niagara AX and/or N4 platforms is required. Strong knowledge of commercial HVAC systems, control strategies, BAS/BMS integration, BACnet communications, IP-based controls architecture, and fundamental network troubleshooting. Demonstrated experience managing or leading commercial building automation projects, controls technicians, subcontractors, and other field resources. Ability to interpret architectural, mechanical, and electrical drawings as well as controls schematics, wiring diagrams, project specifications, and sequences of operation. Valid NYC DOB Supervisor Site Safety Training (SST) Card, 62-hour, is required.
