- Categorize issues by severity (safety, functional, schedule impact, compliance).
- Ensure timely closure of punch list items related to BAS/controls installation.
- Verify corrective work is completed properly before acceptance
- Coordination & Contractor Management
- Maintain strong working relationships with BAS subcontractors, electrical contractors, and commissioning agents.
- Provide firm but collaborative field leadership to enforce installation standards.
- Support a solution-driven environment focused on system performance and integration success.
- Adapt to dynamic jobsite conditions while maintaining quality expectations.
Required Qualifications- Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in BAS/controls installation, field execution, or related commissioning/QA/QC role.
- Strong understanding of HVAC systems, BAS architecture, and control system integration.
- Ability to read and interpret:
- Construction drawings (mechanical, electrical, controls)
- Control schematics and sequences of operation
- Network risers and panel layouts
- Proven field experience with low-voltage wiring, control devices, and BAS network infrastructure.
- Working knowledge of communication protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, and IP-based BAS systems.
- Experience identifying installation deficiencies and driving corrective actions in a construction environment.
- Demonstrated ability to create and manage RFIs and ASIs.
Core Competencies- Strong attention to detail with a quality-first mindset
- Excellent communication and field coordination skills
- Ability to manage multiple active job sites and competing priorities
- Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills in fast-paced construction environments
