Job description

Amteck is hiring for a BMS/EPMS Project Manager. This position reports to our Vice President of Electrical Service.

A BMS (Building Management System) Project Manager is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of projects involving the design, installation, integration, commissioning, and handover of building automation systems. This role ensures projects are completed on time, within budget, and to quality and safety standards, while managing technical aspects and coordinating numerous stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Planning & Execution: Define project scope, objectives, and deliverables. Develop and manage detailed project schedules, budgets, and resource plans.
• Technical Oversight: Oversee BMS design reviews, installation, and commissioning, ensuring compliance with specifications and building codes. Ensure the integration of the BMS with other systems like HVAC, lighting, security, electrical, and fire systems.
• Stakeholder & Vendor Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, general contractors, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers. Manage vendor selection, contract negotiations, and lead project coordination meetings.
• Risk & Quality Management: Identify potential project risks and implement mitigation plans. Ensure all works comply with safety regulations and quality assurance standards.
• Testing & Handover: Lead Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), and integrated systems testing (IST). Manage the project closeout process, ensuring all documentation (as-built drawings, operation manuals) is completed and systems are handed over to operations teams.
• Financial Management: Oversee project financials, including cost control, forecasting, margin analysis, tracking change orders (variation orders), and assisting with billing and payments.

Qualifications and Skills

• Experience: Typically 3-5+ years of project management experience in the construction or building services industry, with a strong background in BMS and control systems. Experience in mission-critical facilities like data centers is often a plus.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep technical knowledge of BMS platforms (e.g., Trend, Tridium, Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls Metasys), HVAC systems, control logic, and integration protocols (like BACnet, Modbus).
• Education/Certifications: A Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Controls) is often preferred. PMP, PRINCE2, or BMS-specific certifications (e.g., BCIA) are highly advantageous.
• Soft Skills:
  • Excellent leadership and communication skills (written and verbal).
  • Strong organizational and time-management abilities, with high attention to detail.
  • Effective problem-solving and critical-thinking capabilities.
  • Adaptability and the ability to work under pressure in fast-paced environments.

Other Requirements

• Proficiency in project management software (e.g., MS Project), MS Office Suite, and BMS software tools.
• Knowledge of construction safety regulations (e.g., OSHA, CSCS certification).
• Willingness to travel to various construction sites as needed.

Core Systems and Hardware Knowledge

• HVAC, Electrical, and Mechanical Systems: A strong understanding of how heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as electrical and other mechanical building equipment, operate. This includes knowledge of components like actuators, sensors, valves, and dampers.
• DDC (Direct Digital Control) and Control Logic: Expertise in DDC technology, which forms the "brain" of a BMS. This includes understanding control strategies, sequences of operation, and the ability to design or review control logic.
• System Components: Knowledge of input/output devices, controllers, user interfaces, and communication networks.
• Building Codes and Standards: Familiarity with relevant building codes, safety regulations (e.g., OSHA), and industry standards to ensure all project work is compliant and safe.

Benefits

Besides a family-oriented work atmosphere, we are proud to offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, 401k, paid vacation and holidays, short-term and long-term disability, life insurance, and other benefits.
