Building Automation Systems Programmer

Overview

Travel:
Local only (approx. 50-mile radius)

The Opportunity:

If you’re a BAS Programmer who wants to actually program (logic, sequences, troubleshooting), not live in a graphics/point-mapping queue, this is worth a look.

I’m hiring for a private, owner-led controls contractor with a strong reputation across the DC metro. Local projects. Stable pipeline. Low-ego team. Controls done properly.

Salary: $100,000 – $150,000 (depending on strength)

Perks:
Company vehicle + strong benefits + 401(k) match + generous PTO

• Program, configure, and commission DDC/BAS systems
• Own logic, sequences, databases
  , and real troubleshooting (not just edits)
• Support commissioning/startup and fix issues when systems don’t behave
• Get involved early in delivery (not dropped in at the end)
• Support workstation/network setup when needed
• Help drive clean handover: testing, documentation, basic client support

This is not a ticket-queue support role.

Key Requirements (Must-Haves)

• Solid hands-on BAS / controls programming experience
• Comfortable owning sequences of operation → working logic
• Strong troubleshooting mindset (controller, integration, and database-side)
• Working knowledge of BACnet / Lon Works / Modbus integrations
• Comfortable working independently and collaborating with field teams
• Valid driver’s license (local travel)

Nice to Haves

• Niagara N4 experience (certs a plus)
• JCI CCT experience
• Honeywell WEBs experience
• Network troubleshooting experience (VLANs, IP issues, workstation setup)
• $100k-$150k base (commensurate with experience)
• Company vehicle
• 401(k) with match
• Generous PTO
• Local-only projects (no national travel)

Employment is subject to background check + drug screening.
