+ Support design review, commissioning, startup, and operational acceptance of automation systems for new builds, retrofits, and upgrades.

+ Review, validate, and improve control logic, sequences of operation, points databases, graphics, alarm behaviors, and network architecture documentation.

+ Partner with site operations and facilities teams to resolve automation-related issues affecting uptime, maintainability, visibility, or operational response.

+ Apply working knowledge of OT cybersecurity practices to support secure, compliant, and supportable automation environments.

+ Coordinate with vendors, system integrators, and construction or commissioning teams to drive quality execution and operational readiness.

+ Maintain accurate documentation for control programs, network diagrams, inventories, standards, and configuration records.

+ Support RCAs, corrective actions, and continuous improvement activities related to controls reliability and automation performance.

+ Contribute to development of repeatable processes, templates, and standards for site automation support.

** Ideal Candidate Profile*
* + 3-5 years of experience in building automation, controls engineering, industrial automation, OT systems, or mission-critical facility controls support.

+ Experience supporting BMS, EPMS, PLC, SCADA, industrial networking, and field instrumentation in operational environments.

+ Working knowledge of mechanical and electrical facility systems and how automation platforms support monitoring, alarming, and control.

+ Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Controls, Computer Engineering, Industrial Automation, or related field preferred; equivalent experience also valued.

** Skills and Competencies*
* + Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic capability across controls, automation logic, graphics, field devices, and communications infrastructure.

+ Ability to work independently in time-sensitive operational environments.

+ Strong written and verbal communication with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to site teams and stakeholders.

+ Good judgment in balancing operational urgency, system reliability, and procedural discipline.

+ Strong documentation rigor and follow-through.

** Preferred Skills / Certifications*
* +

Experience with platforms such as Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Ignition, Niagara, Johnson Controls, or similar automation ecosystems.

+ Familiarity with BMS, EPMS, SCADA, PLC programming tools, industrial firewalls, OT switching, and controls integration.

+

Experience with commissioning, turnover, alarm rationalization, trend analysis, and sequence validation.

+ Familiarity with IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, segmentation, remote access controls, or other OT cybersecurity practices.

+ OEM, platform, or industry certifications in controls, automation, networking, or BMS/SCADA systems are a plus.

+ Scripting or data analysis capability for controls support, trend analysis, or automation tasks is a plus.

** Physical Demands / Work Environment*
* This is a mission-critical onsite role supporting 24/7 operations where continuous uptime is essential. To perform these duties, you must be able to frequently walk, stand, climb stairs, bend, stoop, and move throughout active operational environments. You may occasionally lift or move up to 25 pounds. These tasks must be performed safely, with or without reasonable accommodation, to support the continuous health of facility automation infrastructure.
