About The Position

The Smart Buildings Performance Manager plays a critical role in protecting healthcare operations by transforming building data into proactive action. This role focuses on identifying and resolving BMS, HVAC, and analytics‑driven performance issues that impact pharmaceutical integrity, care continuity, energy efficiency, and overall facility reliability. Through close collaboration with site teams, project partners, and construction teams; the manager drives issues to resolution, validates outcomes, and ensures new systems meet operational expectations before turnover. Serving as a technical subject matter expert and continuous improvement leader, this position bridges technology, engineering judgment, and mission‑driven operations to deliver measurable performance, sustainability, and risk‑reduction outcomes across healthcare distribution and care environments. Role is primarily remote with some travel as required.

Requirements

Experience with BMS platforms (especially Niagara), analytics tools, and HVAC systems, ideally in mission critical or regulated environments.
Strong ability to interpret analytics and translate them into practical, risk focused actions.
Rigorous computational skills for quantifying environmental and cost savings.
Experience holding design and construction teams accountable to ensure issues are identified and corrected before facility acceptance.
Comfort working cross functionally with site operators, engineers, and technical teams.
Highly self‑directed ownership and comfort working in a mostly remote environment without continuous supervision.
A mindset oriented towards safety, reliability, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

Review BMS alarms, trends, and analytics outputs to proactively identify conditions that could impact environmental control, equipment reliability, energy consumption, or operational continuity.
Translate raw building data into clear, actionable issues that reflect operational and clinical risk—not just technical anomalies.
Collaborate with facility, engineering, and operations teams to review findings, validate root causes, and determine safe, effective implementation plans.
Help teams prioritize actions that protect mission critical operations while balancing cost, risk, and operational constraints.
Track corrective actions and optimizations from identification through completion using standardized workflows.
Verify that implemented changes deliver the intended outcomes—improved stability, reduced risk, and measurable performance gains.
Review and test new BMS installations and integrations, proactively monitoring system behavior, data quality, alarms, and control sequences to ensure stable, reliable operation before system turnover to site teams.
Hold project and construction teams accountable by clearly documenting deficiencies, tracking corrective actions, and verifying that issues are not passed into operations.
Act as a BMS and HVAC subject matter expert, advising on control strategies, alarm design, analytics interpretation, and system behavior.
Advocate for solutions that improve reliability and resilience in healthcare environments, not just theoretical efficiency gains.
Identify patterns and recurring risks across sites to propose scalable improvements to alarms, analytics, control strategies, and operational standards.
Contribute to the evolution from reactive response toward proactive and predictive building operations.
