About the Company

Our client is a technology company focused on improving indoor air quality and building performance through connected environmental monitoring solutions.

Their products combine smart sensors, cloud-based analytics, and building management system integrations to help commercial buildings improve air quality, optimize HVAC operations, reduce energy consumption, and support healthy-building certifications.

Their solutions are designed for enterprise and commercial environments, including large-scale building portfolios, and integrate with existing building systems and networks.

About the Role

We are looking for a Field Deployment Manager to lead the successful deployment of connected building technology across commercial properties.

This is primarily a remote project coordination and technical execution role. You will coordinate third-party installers, general contractors, client IT teams, facilities teams, and other stakeholders from pre-installation planning through final go-live.

You will not be responsible for physical installation work, but you will need enough hands-on technical knowledge to troubleshoot networking, connectivity, cabling, device configuration, and deployment issues in the field.

Success in this role means ensuring that every assigned device is installed correctly, connected properly, configured correctly, and reliably reporting clean data to the cloud or building management system.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end deployment projects from pre-installation planning through go-live.
• Review building plans, floor plans, and construction drawings to determine device and gateway placement.
• Coordinate third-party installers, low-voltage contractors, general contractors, client IT teams, and facility teams.
• Confirm that site prerequisites are completed before installation begins.
• Track device quantities, installation progress, logistics, dependencies, risks, and project milestones.
• Provide technical direction to contractors and resolve deployment blockers.
• Troubleshoot practical networking issues including IP addressing, DHCP/DNS, VLANs, firewall rules, port access, and cabling.
• Coordinate with customer network administrators to resolve connectivity and access requirements.
• Verify device installation, connectivity, configuration, and data reporting.
• Identify and resolve issues that could delay deployment or go-live.
• Maintain clear project documentation, status updates, and deployment records.
• Coordinate with internal technical and customer-facing teams when escalations are required.
• Ensure deployed devices reliably report clean data to the cloud or BMS.
• Support continuous improvement of deployment processes, documentation, and field procedures.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience deploying physical technology in occupied commercial buildings, such as IoT, low-voltage, security, AV, telecom, or building technology.
• Strong ability to read and interpret floor plans and construction drawings.
• Practical field-level networking knowledge, including:
• IP addressing
• DHCP/DNS
• VLANs
• Firewall rules
• Network connectivity
• Cabling
• Experience coordinating third-party contractors, installers, or field service teams.
• Strong project coordination and execution skills.
• Ability to troubleshoot technical issues remotely and direct others through on-site troubleshooting.
• Comfortable working across multiple stakeholders, including contractors, IT teams, facilities teams, and customers.
• Strong documentation and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple deployment activities, dependencies, and deadlines.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience with BMS/HVAC controls or building automation.
• Experience deploying IoT or connected building technologies.
• Experience with BACnet, Modbus, or similar building protocols.
• Experience with enterprise building deployments.
• Experience working with general contractors or low-voltage contractors.
• Familiarity with cloud-connected hardware or sensor deployments.
• Experience with commercial building technology or smart-building projects.

• Resourceful – Can troubleshoot problems and find practical solutions when unexpected issues arise.
• Independent – Comfortable managing projects remotely with limited supervision.
• Detail-oriented – Ensures devices, configurations, documentation, and deployment requirements are completed correctly.
• Proactive – Identifies deployment risks before they become project blockers.
• Clear communicator – Can communicate effectively with contractors, customers, IT teams, facilities teams, and internal technical teams.

What We Offer

• 100% Remote Work – Work from anywhere in the Philippines.
• Career Growth Opportunities – Gain hands-on experience and continuous learning.
• Collaborative & Innovative Team – Work alongside skilled professionals who value excellence.
