  • A bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management, or a related technical field is required.
  • At least 5 years of project management experience in Building Automation Systems (BAS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), or mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems is required.
  • A strong understanding of BAS/EPMS architecture, network topologies, metering systems, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and electrical distribution equipment is required.
  • Expertise with Microsoft Project, Excel, SharePoint, and project controls tools is required.
  • Knowledge of sequences of operation, load shedding, redundancy concepts, trending, alarming, and critical infrastructure monitoring is required.
  • The candidate must be able to explain technical concepts to clients, general contractor personnel, and non-technical stakeholders.
  • The candidate must be skilled in leading diverse teams in high-pressure, schedule-driven environments.
  • Experience managing multimillion-dollar project budgets, forecasting, revenue management, and cost control is required.
  • The candidate must supervise and support engineers, technicians, site leaders, and subcontractors, and provide guidance on policy interpretation, expectations, and performance standards.
  • The role requires written and verbal communication skills, integrity, accountability, commitment to quality, procedural consistency, documentation accuracy, and operational excellence.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a portfolio of large-scale data center BAS and EPMS projects from design through commissioning and turnover.
  • Align project delivery with client service-level agreements, commissioning milestones, methods and procedures/emergency operating procedures standards, and critical-path schedules.
  • Plan, coordinate, and execute projects while managing risks associated with mission-critical facilities.
  • Mentor junior and associate project managers and project superintendents in data center delivery standards.
  • Coordinate internal engineers, programmers, field technicians, electricians, and commissioning partners.
  • Oversee subcontractors responsible for controls installation, metering installation, fiber and copper networks, and panel fabrication; evaluate performance and enforce safety, quality assurance/quality control, and data center specifications.
  • Develop detailed BAS/EPMS project budgets covering labor, materials, commissioning support, and change management; control costs, forecast accurately, align with schedule of values and billing cycles, and support cash flow management and revenue recognition.
  • Maintain project documentation, including requests for information, submittals, panel shop drawings, input/output summaries, device maps, sequences, network diagrams, and commissioning artifacts.
  • Report project status to internal and external stakeholders, including general contractors, mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineers, commissioning agents, and end users; ensure closeout documentation meets data center owner standards.
  • Identify scope gaps related to design changes, sequence revisions, metering packages, or network requirements; prepare change-order estimates, obtain customer approval, and incorporate approved changes into budgets and schedules.
  • Manage procurement of controls hardware, EPMS meters, network switches, panels, sensors, and commissioning equipment; track long-lead items and ensure materials are staged, inspected, and deployed on schedule.
  • Identify risks related to power shutdowns, network cutovers, commissioning windows, and operational impacts; develop mitigations, escalate issues, and support vendor or subcontractor dispute resolution.
  • Lead BAS and EPMS startup, loop checks, point-to-point testing, and functional testing; manage integration with SCADA, building management system front ends, and electrical infrastructure.
  • Support Level 1–5 commissioning, including test-script execution and issue resolution; oversee final turnover, training, documentation delivery, and transition to service.
  • Ensure compliance with data center owner standards, industry codes, electrical safety requirements, internal quality processes, cybersecurity requirements, network segmentation, and naming conventions.
  • Enforce safety protocols for energized equipment, high-voltage work, confined spaces, and elevated locations; conduct site safety evaluations and participate in incident investigations.
  • Serve as the primary contact for general contractors, end users, commissioning teams, and design partners; provide consistent communication and proactive issue management.
  • Coordinate with engineering, panel fabrication, programming, service, and sales teams; lead cross-functional meetings to align project goals, commissioning plans, and resource planning.
  • Drive consistency, continuous improvement, and adoption of best practices across multiple data center projects and regions.
  • Delegate effectively, provide actionable feedback, and support team development.
  • Work evenings, weekends, or extended hours when required during commissioning windows or critical cutovers.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in hyperscale or colocation data center environments is strongly preferred.
