Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) is a fully integrated equity real estate investment trust and one of New York City's preeminent office and high-street retail landlords. Vornado's portfolio is concentrated in the nation's key market - New York City - comprising approximately 26.7 million square feet in 60 premier properties, including iconic assets such as 1 Penn Plaza, 888 Seventh Avenue, and the PENN District.
Vornado is consistently recognized as the industry leader in sustainability, holding the distinction of being the largest owner of LEED-certified property in the United States, with more than 27 million square feet of LEED Gold or higher certification, and has achieved ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year with Sustained Excellence seven times. Through its Vision 2030 program, Vornado is committed to achieving carbon neutrality across its portfolio by 2030. The company's Board of Directors and senior management regard Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as among its highest strategic priorities.
Position Summary:
The Vice President of Engineering is a senior leadership role with primary accountability for the portfolio-wide deployment of energy management tools and technologies, and for providing expert engineering support to Vornado's development projects. Reporting directly to the Senior Vice President - Chief Sustainability Officer, with management support from the Senior Vice President, Field Operations. This executive drives the implementation and integration of building energy management platforms, automation systems, and data-driven performance tools across Vornado's approximately 26.7 million square feet of commercial properties, in direct support of the company's operational optimization strategies including Vision 2030.
This role demands a technically fluent engineering leader with deep expertise in building energy management systems and technology deployment, a strong grasp of development project workflows, and the ability to translate sustainability strategy into scalable, portfolio-wide operational solutions.

  • Supporting and/or managing all aspects of major renovation projects from conceptualization through completion, acting as Owner's Representative and overseeing design and construction aspects for due diligence on new acquisitions.
  • Manage a portfolio-wide retro-commissioning (ReCx) program - retro-commissioning is performed on existing buildings to bring them back to the functionality of the original design intent, or even better, while identifying energy conservation measures with strong payback periods.
  • A rolling five-year capital improvement plan prioritized by code compliance urgency, equipment risk, energy savings, and Vision 2030 alignment
  • Piloting emerging smart building technologies and measuring post-project performance to validate returns

Portfolio Wide Energy Management
  • Lead the end-to-end deployment of portfolio-wide energy management systems and technologies - including BMS/EMS platforms, interval data analytics, and AI-driven optimization tools - across all assets in Vornado's portfolio.

  • Establish and track key performance indicators for energy management tool deployments; report progress against energy reduction, decarbonization, and Vision 2030 targets to the CSO and senior leadership on a regular cadence.
  • Partner closely with the Chief Sustainability Officer to align engineering operations with Vornado's Vision 2030 carbon neutrality roadmap, Science Based Targets, and portfolio-wide energy and decarbonization commitments.
  • Plan and drive adoption of energy efficiency, decarbonization, and smart building technology programs across the portfolio to manage utility costs and support greenhouse gas reduction goals.
  • Manage the Energy Manager and determine job responsibilities including Local Law compliance for BPS.
  • Manage submeter system, incentive programs and management of demand response programs, with support from Energy Manager
  • Ensure engineering operations support and sustain Vornado's LEED, ENERGY STAR, GRESB, and Fitwel certifications across the portfolio.
  • Champion the transition from preventive to predictive maintenance strategies, leveraging data analytics and IoT-enabled building systems to reduce energy consumption and operational costs.

Engineering Operations Leadership
  • Support the SVP, Field Operations with executive oversight of engineering service activities across the portfolio, including interface with corporate personnel, compliance with all performance specifications, and achievement of quantitative cost savings and qualitative customer service objectives.

Financial & Capital Management
