Job Description

Senior Controls Project Engineer (BAS / HVAC)

Boston| $135k-$150k + Bonus | Hybrid (3 Days On-Site / 2 Days WFH)

Own Projects. Not Just Tasks

Most controls roles stop at execution.

You're given a scope.

You follow the process.

You hand it off.

This role is different.

You will take full ownership of projects, from install through commissioning, managing subcontractors, solving real-time issues on-site, and ensuring successful delivery in live building environments.

Why This Company?

Most firms in the energy space promise savings.

This one guarantees them.

  • Long-term, 5-year client partnerships
  • Combination of field delivery + smart controls + remote optimization
  • Proven model across major markets, now scaling across DC

You are joining at a point where the Boston region is growing fast, with clear demand and the need for strong field leadership.

The Role

You will be the on-site project lead, responsible for delivering multiple building integrations from start to finish.

Hybrid setup:

  • 3 days on-site across Boston site projects
  • 2 days WFH (planning, coordination, reporting)

What You will Do:

  • Own full project delivery from mobilisation through commissioning
  • Manage subcontractors (primarily electricians), ensuring quality, safety, and timelines
  • Lead panel startup, point-to-point commissioning, and system validation
  • Coordinate schedules, materials, and multiple live projects
  • Act as the primary client contact during delivery
  • Ensure successful integration between building systems and platform

You will typically manage:

8-10 projects in your pipeline

3-5 active installs at any one time

What is Essential

  • Project management experience within BAS / controls / HVAC
  • Subcontractor management experience in the field
  • Strong BMS/BAS controls background
  • Hands-on commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders

Niagara experience is beneficial, not essential.

Who This Suits

  • Lead Controls Technicians stepping into project ownership
  • BAS Engineers with delivery responsibility
  • Field Engineers who want more autonomy and impact

Why Move?

  • Full ownership of projects, not just tasks
  • Greater exposure across multiple sites and stakeholders
  • A role where you can see the direct impact of your work

Interested?

If you've got controls expertise, project experience, and strong field leadership, this is a genuine step up in responsibility and visibility.
