Job description

Oakland, CA | $145,000 to $165,000 base | Hybrid | Competitive benefits |

A privately held engineering consultancy is looking for a Commissioning Project Manager who can lead clients and projects without stepping away from the technical work.

What You Will Be Doing

• Serve as the day-to-day commissioning lead for several concurrent client projects.
• Translate owner requirements and design intent into practical commissioning plans and test procedures.
• Evaluate BAS sequences, controls integration, system operation, and performance issues.
• Lead site observations and functional testing, document deficiencies, and drive issues through closure.
• Coordinate directly with owners, designers, contractors, controls vendors, and facilities teams.
• Remain involved after occupancy to verify performance and support final resolution.

What We Are Looking For

• 4+ years of relevant commissioning, MEP, controls, or contractor-side project experience.
• A record of owning full-cycle building commissioning work and client relationships.
• Strong BAS/BMS, HVAC-controls, test-script, and functional-testing capability.
• Knowledge of California Title 24 and ASHRAE commissioning practices.
• Engineering degree or substantially greater relevant experience in place of education and certification.
• Ability to work in a hybrid structure and visit active Bay Area construction sites.

Preferred Qualifications

• BCxP, CCP, CxA, or comparable credential, or commitment to pursue one after joining.
• Bluebeam Revu and Facility Grid experience.
• Experience commissioning multiple energy-using building systems.

Why This Opportunity

• Blend technical commissioning with genuine project and client leadership.
• Work closely with both commissioning and design professionals.
• Gain variety across healthcare, education, housing, laboratory, and commercial environments.
• Competitive compensation DOE, strong health coverage, and 401(k) matching.

This opportunity is well suited to a commissioning professional who wants autonomy, variety, and direct influence on building performance.
