Job Details

BAS Technical Lead / Operations Lead

Location: Nashville, TN

About the Opportunity: We are looking for a BAS Technical Lead / Operations Lead to play a key role in building and growing our Nashville operation. This is a unique opportunity for someone with a strong technical background in Building Automation Systems (BAS/DDC) who is ready to take the next step into leadership and help develop a growing local operation.

This is not a traditional desk-based management position. Initially, you will be part of a small, hands-on team and will be involved in everything from technical support and project execution to customer relationships, operational planning, and future hiring. As the Nashville operation grows, this position will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility for the team and overall local operations. We are looking for someone who is entrepreneurial, technically strong, adaptable, and excited about helping build something from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Help lead the day-to-day operations and growth of the Nashville location
• Serve as a technical resource for BAS/DDC projects, troubleshooting, programming, commissioning, and system integration
• Support projects from startup through final commissioning and customer turnover
• Coordinate project schedules, manpower, materials, subcontractors, and customer expectations
• Work directly with customers, mechanical contractors, engineers, and other project stakeholders
• Assist with estimating, project planning, proposals, and identifying new opportunities
• Help establish processes and best practices for the growing Nashville operation
• Support and eventually help lead the hiring, training, and development of additional team members
• Maintain strong project quality, customer satisfaction, and financial performance
• Work closely with company leadership to develop and execute the long-term growth strategy for the Nashville market

What We're Looking For

• Strong technical background in Building Automation Systems, DDC controls, or HVAC controls
• Experience with BAS programming, commissioning, troubleshooting, engineering, project management, or field operations
• Solid understanding of HVAC equipment and sequences of operation, including AHUs, RTUs, VAVs, central plants, boilers, chillers, pumps, and related systems
• Familiarity with BACnet and building automation networks
• Previous leadership, project management, team lead, or supervisory experience
• Comfortable working in a small, growing operation where responsibilities may extend beyond a traditional job description
• Strong communication and customer-facing skills
• Ability to take ownership, make decisions, and solve problems independently
• Entrepreneurial mindset with an interest in helping grow a team and local market

Experience with platforms such as Reliable Controls, Niagara, Schneider Electric, Automated Logic, Siemens, Johnson Controls, Trane, Distech, Delta Controls, Honeywell, or similar BAS/DDC systems is a plus.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a growing Nashville operation while having the backing and resources of an established building automation company.

For the right person, this position can grow well beyond a traditional technical role. You'll have the opportunity to help build the team, shape the operation, develop customer relationships, and ultimately take ownership of the Nashville market.

If you're a strong BAS professional who wants more responsibility and the opportunity to help build something rather than simply step into an established operation, we'd like to hear from you.
