Building Performance Engineer

Key Responsibilities / Day-to-Day Activities

• Analyze HVAC performance using FDD tools to identify faults and inefficiencies
• Develop and prioritize optimization actions (setpoints, schedules, control improvements)
• Lead recurring service calls and communicate findings with facilities, BAS, and energy teams

Products / Systems Supported

• Clockworks Analytics (FDD platform)
• Building Automation Systems (BAS) and HVAC equipment

Target Experience

~3–7 years in HVAC systems, facilities engineering, BAS, or energy/analytics roles
We're open to more experience and potentially hiring at a higher level if we have the right candidate

Position Responsibilities – A Day in the Life

• Provide ongoing HVAC Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) support for global facilities
• Independently manage assigned building performance efforts and translate analytics insights into actionable maintenance and optimization improvements
• Lead recurring service meetings with facilities, operations, energy teams, and BAS engineers
• Review building documentation (mechanical drawings, BAS documentation, control sequences, TAB reports) to understand system design intent
• Analyze building analytics data to identify HVAC faults, inefficiencies, and operational issues
• Create data-driven visualizations to communicate findings and quantify operational and energy impacts
• Clearly communicate technical recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Collaborate with BAS vendors and controls contractors to support data-driven maintenance and optimization efforts
• Support internal teams during FDD deployment and analytics onboarding

Must Have: Minimum Requirements

• A Baccalaureate degree (or equivalent from outside the U.S.)

• Working knowledge of:
• Airside and central plant HVAC systems
• Building Automation Systems (BAS) and control strategies
• Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) sequences of operation and system interactions
• Experience analyzing HVAC performance data, trends, alarms, and operational behavior
• Ability to independently develop technical recommendations based on system performance data
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting technical information to non-technical stakeholders
• Willingness to travel up to 10% to support site engagement, deployment activities, and collaboration

Nice to Have Experience

• Experience with Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) platforms, including Clockworks Analytics or similar building performance analytics tools
• Experience with advanced Building Automation Systems, including Niagara-based or other enterprise BAS platforms
• Experience navigating BAS front ends, reviewing control logic, and supporting data-driven troubleshooting and optimization efforts
• Experience with computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and data-driven maintenance workflows
• Experience working collaboratively with BAS vendors or controls contractors
• Familiarity with energy management, sustainability initiatives, or smart building technologies
