ABOUT THE ROLE
Vertex Control Systems is hiring a BAS Project Manager to run controls and building automation projects from kickoff through close-out. You'll own the schedule, the budget, the submittals, the subcontractors, and the customer relationship on multiple jobs running in parallel — typically a mix of controls retrofits, Niagara N4 migrations, commissioning projects, and new construction BAS scopes. The role is hybrid out of our Covington office with regular site visits across Louisiana and occasional travel to out-of-state projects.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Manage 4-8 active BAS projects in parallel, ranging from $40K service jobs to $1M+ retrofits
- Own project schedule, budget, change orders, and gross margin
- Coordinate submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings with engineering, GC, and design team
- Lead weekly project meetings with customers, mechanical contractors, and our field crews
- Manage subs (electrical, fire alarm interface, network) and material procurement
- Conduct site visits, monitor installation quality, and drive punch list close-out
- Forecast labor and material burn; flag scope creep early and write clean change orders
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 3+ years managing commercial HVAC controls, BAS, mechanical, or electrical construction projects
- Strong working knowledge of how controls scope hits the field — you don't need to be an engineer, but you need to recognize a bad sequence or a wrong meter location
- Excellent customer-facing communication and comfort presenting to ownership and facility teams
- Proficient in MS Project or comparable scheduling tools, plus Excel for forecasting
- Valid driver's license; willing to do regular in-state site visits
NICE TO HAVE
- +PMP certification
- +Prior experience as a controls technician or engineer who moved into PM
- +Familiarity with Procore, Bluebeam, and standard construction documentation
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive base salary with performance bonuses
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- Company vehicle or vehicle allowance for field roles
- Tools, laptop, and certifications paid by the company
- Continuing education: Niagara N4, BACnet, and OEM training
