Deputy Program Manager, Building Controls

The Deputy Program Manager supports the Program Manager in the execution of the U.S. Army Reserve Enterprise Building Control Systems (EBCS) contract, an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) program that integrates Army Reserve facilities into a centralized building monitoring and control environment. This role sits between the Program Manager and project-level management positions and combines program-level oversight with hands-on responsibility for planning, scheduling, task order execution, customer coordination, and delivery management.

The position requires a practical, execution-focused leader who can translate contract requirements into integrated plans, manage multiple concurrent task orders, maintain detailed schedules in Microsoft Project, and coordinate technical teams performing building automation, controls, facilities modernization, and related IT/OT work.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Program Manager in overseeing contract performance across the EBCS IDIQ and all active task orders, including scope, schedule, budget, quality, staffing, risk, and customer satisfaction.
• Lead the day-to-day planning and execution of multiple concurrent task orders across geographically dispersed Army Reserve facilities.
• Develop, maintain, and integrate master schedules and detailed task order schedules in Microsoft Project, including milestones, dependencies, critical paths, resource loading, baselines, and recovery plans.
• Translate statements of work, technical requirements, and task order deliverables into executable work plans, work breakdown structures, acceptance criteria, and reporting cadences.
• Monitor program and task order financial performance, labor utilization, subcontractor performance, procurement status, change activity, and forecast-to-complete information.
• Maintain program controls, including RAID logs, action registers, decision logs, deliverable trackers, change control, and configuration or document management processes.
• Coordinate technical, engineering, construction, commissioning, cybersecurity, IT/OT, and field teams involved in building control system implementation and integration.
• Manage vendors and subcontractors, including schedule alignment, deliverable quality, performance monitoring, issue resolution, and accountability for contractual commitments.
• Prepare and deliver accurate status reports, executive briefings, task order reviews, and customer communications for Government and internal stakeholders.
• Facilitate recurring program and project meetings, document decisions and action items, and ensure timely follow-through across all responsible parties.
• Identify emerging risks, schedule conflicts, cost pressures, and performance issues early; recommend and implement corrective actions.
• Help establish repeatable program management processes, templates, metrics, and lessons learned that improve delivery across future task orders.
• Mentor project managers and coordinators and provide practical guidance on scheduling, contract execution, stakeholder management, and delivery discipline.
• Support task order proposal development, staffing plans, basis-of-estimate inputs, technical approaches, and transition from award to execution.
