Building Controls Manager

Opportunity Overview In complex commercial environments, the efficiency and precision of mechanical systems depend heavily on the intelligence driving them. At Our Client, an industry leader headquartered in Southwest Michigan, steady market expansion has created a high-value mandate for an expert who understands the full lifecycle of building automation. This role exists to serve as the critical technical link between advanced controls engineering and client operations—taking end-to-end ownership of quoting, custom programming, system diagnostics, and customer relationships. For an experienced technician or controls manager seeking to escape the repetitive grind of massive corporate sub-contracting, this opportunity offers a refreshing, autonomous environment. Here, your technical mastery directly impacts regional infrastructure, backed by the deep-rooted stability and resources of an established enterprise.

Is This You? The right professional for this opportunity is a self-directed technical expert who operates with an owner’s mindset. You are energized by solving intricate DDC programming challenges and transforming complex mechanical specs into elegant, user-friendly control interfaces. Rather than sitting behind a desk or acting purely as a field installer, you thrive in a hybrid capacity where technical precision meets high-touch client communication. You bring a disciplined approach to project management, seamlessly balancing cost estimation, electrical schematic design, and hands-on system troubleshooting. If you take personal pride in total project ownership, value long-term stability, and are motivated by a highly respect-driven trade culture, this role will align naturally with your strengths.

A Few Things Worth Knowing

• Strong Company Foundation: Backed by decades of market leadership and expanding regional coverage across Central and Southwest Michigan.
• Full System Lifecycle Ownership: Complete authority across the control process—from initial cost estimation and custom DDC programming to site execution and long-term client monitoring.
• Advanced Integration Scope: Strong emphasis on open platforms, including Niagara 4 certification and integration across major lines like Honeywell, Johnson Controls (JCI), and Distech.
• Direct Regional Impact: Key technical liaison for premier commercial, industrial, and institutional service clients throughout the region.
• Fully Equipped Mandate: Position supported by comprehensive operational tools, including a company service vehicle, gas allowance, and advanced technology setup.
• Secure Your Families Health: Full health, dental and vision insurance paid 100% by the employer for you, your spouse, and you children.

Worth Exploring? The right opportunity rarely comes from simply searching for one, it often starts with a conversation that creates space to consider what could be next.
