• 3+ years of experience deploying physical technology in occupied commercial buildings, such as IoT, low-voltage, security, AV, telecom, or building technology.
• Experience reading and interpreting floor plans and construction drawings.
• Practical knowledge of networking, including IP addressing, DHCP/DNS, VLANs, firewall rules, port access, and cabling.
• Experience coordinating third-party contractors, installers, or field service teams.
• Experience managing technical deployment projects from planning through go-live.
• Experience troubleshooting technical and connectivity issues remotely and guiding on-site teams through resolution.
• Experience with BMS/HVAC controls, building automation, IoT, or connected building technology is an advantage.
• Familiarity with BACnet, Modbus, cloud-connected hardware, or sensor deployments is an advantage.
