Re-posted 25 days ago

Job description

Mantis Innovation provides managed facility services and turnkey program management with technology-enabled solutions that target the entire building footprint. We look at the entire facility-inside and out-and can impact 70% of what a building operator allocates critical budget dollars toward, including: Strategic electricity and natural gas procurement, renewable energy, and demand response; climate impact reduction and reporting, net zero strategies, and sustainability planning; roofing, solar, HVAC assessment management, pavement, building envelope, data center optimization, and EV charging; lighting/LED retrofits, HVAC/mechanical systems, and BMS/BAS improvements and implementation.

This is not a traditional PM role-we're looking for someone who understands how BMS systems actually work, not just how to manage a schedule.

The BMS Project Manager ensures projects stay on budget, on schedule, and within contract by managing risk, tracking financial performance, and controlling change orders. This role requires a strong understanding of Building Management Systems (BMS), controls infrastructure, and platforms such as SCADA Ignition / PLC's, enabling effective coordination between engineering, field technicians, and clients. The PM is responsible for protecting margin, preventing scope creep, and ensuring technically sound project execution.

OUTCOMES
  • Demonstrates working knowledge of BMS controls systems, sequences of operation, and platform capabilities (e.g., PLC's, SCADA, Ignition)
  • Effectively partners with engineering and field teams by understanding controls architecture, system integration, and commissioning workflows
  • 99%+ of project gross margin achieved vs. sold margin
  • 90%+ of identified scope changes captured as approved change orders
  • 90%+ of project milestones achieved on or before planned dates
  • Monthly forecast accuracy within +/- 5% of actual financial performance
  • 100% of project financials, contracts, and documentation maintained accurately and submitted on time
  • Demonstrates accountability, ownership, and sound judgment in project execution
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Manage BMS projects from contract award through closeout; ensuring alignment with controls design, system architecture, client technical requirements, while maintaining financial and contractual alignment
  • Partner with Controls Engineers and Technicians to ensure accurate interpretation of sequences of operation and system design
  • Maintain working knowledge of BMS platforms (e.g., SCADA Ignition), controls networks (BACnet, Modbus), and system integrations
  • Review project scope to ensure alignment with controls deliverables, graphics, programming, and commissioning requirements
  • Support issue resolution by understanding basic troubleshooting of BMS systems and common field challenges
  • Act as a bridge between technical teams and clients by translating controls concepts into clear project updates
  • Develop and maintain project budgets, schedules, and forecasts across all phases
  • Own change order identification, pricing, and approval to ensure full scope recovery
  • Track and manage project financial performance while understanding technical scope drivers such as controls hardware, integration complexity, and commissioning efforts
  • Communicate project status, risks, and financial performance to clients and internal leadership
  • Execute project closeout, including financial reconciliation and final documentation
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • 3-7 years of BMS project management experience in construction, controls, or technical systems
  • Demonstrates working knowledge of BMS controls systems, sequences of operation, and platform capabilities (e.g., SCADA Ignition, PLC's)
  • Experience managing project budgets, forecasts, and financial performance
  • Ability to read and interpret contracts, construction documents, and technical project plans
WORKING CONDITIONS/PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
  • Work environment: Hybrid role across office and field environments supporting active construction and retrofit projects
  • Physical requirements:
    • Sitting, standing, and occasional site visits
    • Ability to review field conditions and coordinate with site teams
  • Schedule expectations:
    • Standard working hours with project-driven variability
    • Travel required based on project portfolio
