    About the Role:

    In 2026, the Intelligent Building Platform & BMS (IBP) Manager role transcends traditional BMS engineering by serving as the strategic "brain" of the facility's digital ecosystem. While requiring the technical core of a BMS Engineer, this position focuses on managing the software layer that integrates BMS, IoT sensors, and enterprise IT systems into a single, proactive platform. The manager oversees data orchestration, predictive analytics, and tenant experience apps to drive the client’s sustainability and operational goals.

    What You’ll Do:

    Strategic & Technical Responsibilities

    + **Platform Orchestration:** Manage the client’s "Single Pane of Glass" platform that aggregates data from systems such as HVAC, lighting, elevators, etc. for portfolio-wide visibility.

    + **Legacy-to-Cloud Migration:** As needed, participate in transitioning of legacy on-premise BMS hardware to cloud-connected, IoT-enabled operations.

    + **Data Analytics & FDD:** Utilize Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) and AI-driven machine learning to move from reactive maintenance to automated, predictive operations.

    + **IT/OT Integration:** Partner with corporate IT to ensure cybersecurity compliance per the client’s cyber security policies in place for all connected building devices.

    + **Sustainability & ESG:** Implement demand-based energy controls and real-time carbon tracking to meet Net-Zero roadmaps.

    + **Occupant Experience:** Assist in integrating platform data with workplace apps to automate "just-in-time" cleaning, meeting room comfort, and flexible lighting based on real-time occupancy.

    What You’ll Need:

    Qualifications & Core Skills

    + **Engineering Core (required):** 7+ years of experience in BMS/HVAC controls (Tridium Niagara N4, Schneider EcoStruxure, Siemens Desigo, KODE, or ICONICS).

    + **Software Proficiency (desired):** Experience with SQL, Python, or API-based integrations (REST/GraphQL) for data movement between building systems and cloud platforms.

    + **Protocol Expertise (required):** Mastery of BACnet/SC, Modbus, and MQTT for IoT device communication.

    + Ability to translate complex technical data into executive-level KPIs (OKRs) for senior leadership.

    + Familiarity with CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System).

    + Network Expertise (required): Working knowledge of network architecture (LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi) and cybersecurity compliance in building systems.

    + Hands-on experience working with IP-based devices and cloud-based platforms.

    + Experience with integration of IoT sensors for energy, occupancy, air quality, etc.

    + Familiarity with sensor calibration, connectivity (LoRaWAN, Zigbee, Bluetooth, etc.)

    + Experience in working with 3 rd party MEP and Technology vendors.

    + Knowledge of basic financial concepts (i.e. Budget, invoice, purchase order).

    + The innovative mentality to develop methods that go beyond existing solutions.

    + Ability to solve unique problems using standard and innovative solutions having a broad impact on the business.

    + In-depth knowledge of Microsoft Office products. Examples include Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. Expert organizational skills with an advanced inquisitive mindset.

    + **Education:** Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering or Computer Science.
