Full Job Description

## 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 accu
