• Develop control logic, graphics, alarming, trending, and system integrations
• Translate HVAC sequences of operation into reliable and efficient DDC programming
• Configure BACnet/IP devices, controllers, field networks, and system integrations
• Support system startup, checkout, and operational testing

• Take ownership of assigned controls projects from startup through completion
• Evaluate technical problems and make sound engineering decisions based on field conditions, customer requirements, and operational impact
• Coordinate with project managers, electricians, mechanical contractors, and customers to maintain project momentum
• Ensure systems are operating correctly and aligned with design intent

• Diagnose and resolve complex controls, networking, integration, and mechanical system issues
• Identify root causes across DDC systems, HVAC equipment, PLC logic, electrical controls, and communications networks
• Support recovery of underperforming or stalled systems
• Provide technical clarity in fast-moving or high-pressure situations
• Conduct point‑to‑point verification, controller checkout, and sequence testing
• Tune control loops and optimize system performance
• Verify field device operation, airflow logic, temperature control, and energy optimization strategies
• Review trends, alarms, and system performance data to identify operational inefficiencies

• Review mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and sequences of operation
• Support design reviews and field coordination during construction and retrofit projects
• Assist with controls architecture decisions and integration planning
• Provide technical support during sales discussions, customer meetings, and project turnover

• Schneider Electric Eco Struxure Building Operation (EBO)
• BACnet/IP, Modbus, and system integrations
• PLC programming or industrial controls experience
• HVAC controls, sequences of operation, and mechanical systems
• IP networking and controls communications
• Graphics development and front‑end system configuration

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering, or similar technical field preferred
• Engineering Technology degrees or equivalent technical experience will also be considered

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving ability
• Ability to operate independently without constant oversight
• High level of ownership and accountability
• Strong communication skills with customers, contractors, and internal teams
• Ability to prioritize multiple technical issues and make practical decisions in the field
• Comfortable working in both office and field environments
• Detail‑oriented with strong documentation habits

• Mechanical rooms and operational facilities
• Field commissioning and troubleshooting
• Coordination meetings with contractors and customers
• Combination of office, remote, and onsite technical work

Occasional extended hours or after‑hours support may be required during commissioning, shutdowns, or critical project activities.
