Bio
David Perkins
Dave is a proven leader in the BAS world. His experience spans the gamut of BAS operations, from installation, to Commissioning, to managing teams who accomplish these tasks. Dave's ability to troubleshoot and resolve BAS issues is above average. His leadership style keeps his team on point without him having to micromanage every aspect of a project, but his awareness of every step of a project is always spot on. One of his strong skills is in Programming and systems design. Another of his strong skills is that he is a patient and thorough mentor to those who are starting out in the BAS world. I have enjoyed a good working relationship with Dave over the past few years and have no problem endorsing him in the various aspects of his career. All in all, there is no hesitancy from me in recommending Dave for any role he sets his sights on. A pleasant byproduct of Dave's skills is that he is able to help Facilities Managers obtain a more thorough grasp of the challenges their roles face. His understanding of Energy Requirements, scheduling, and environmental management has helped lead many facilities managers into a complete understanding of how buildings operate.

I've been fortunate to be able to work with David in a couple of capacities, one as a recruiting partner within the industry, plus as a valued technical resource for a long-time client. David brings not only experience in every aspect of building automation, from installing it to engineering it to selling it, but also an extensive network of old friends and colleagues that respect him.

I’ve worked with David in the past on several types of systems and locations. Each time he completed the work to a high standard and gave me opportunities to learn. Having the qualities for high level trade work and skill to teach are not common. David has both.
