About this role

Mantis Innovation provides managed facility services and turnkey program management with technology-enabled solutions that target the entire building footprint. We look at the entire facility—inside and out—and can impact 70% of what a building operator allocates critical budget dollars toward, including: Strategic electricity and natural gas procurement, renewable energy, and demand response; climate impact reduction and reporting, net zero strategies, and sustainability planning; roofing, solar, HVAC assessment management, pavement, building envelope, data center optimization, and EV charging; lighting/LED retrofits, HVAC/mechanical systems, and BMS/BAS improvements and implementation.

This role exists to build PLC/Ignition and/or Tridium Niagara capability in the Umatilla, OR area to support data center work and ongoing service needs. The technician works independently in the field, handling commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting without relying on outside support. This role ensures projects stay on schedule and meet quality standards. It also establishes a consistent local presence to reduce travel dependency and support long-term work in the region.
