• Lead technical escalations by diagnosing complex engineering issues and determining the best path to resolution.

• Develop structured workflows and documentation that improve execution and knowledge-sharing across projects.

• Mentor and develop Engineering Team Leads while raising the technical capabilities of the broader engineering organization.

• Review project engineering plans early to identify technical risks before they impact delivery.

• Partner with Product, Delivery, and technical SMEs to improve engineering standards and execution.

• Drive automation and innovation by identifying opportunities to automate engineering workflows, integrations, and repetitive technical tasks using modern tools and AI.

• Help shape the future of engineering delivery for one of the industry's most innovative smart building platforms.

What We're Looking For:

• 7+ years of experience in building automation, smart buildings, technical implementations, systems integration, software deployment, or engineering delivery.

• Strong technical knowledge of BAS/BMS systems, IoT devices, networking, integrations, or smart building technologies.

• Leadership experience leading or mentoring engineering teams in complex technical environments.

• Proven problem-solving ability with a track record of improving processes and creating scalable technical solutions.

• Strong operational mindset with experience identifying risk, improving workflows, and driving execution.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to engineering, project management, leadership, and customer-facing teams.
