Senior Field DDC Engineer

Divcon Controls Houston, Texas, United States

About Us:

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas,
Divcon delivers fully integrated automation solutions nationwide that optimize performance, energy efficiency, and reliability across HVAC, lighting, power monitoring, and mission-critical systems. Leveraging advanced technologies - including Allen-Bradley PLCs, Ignition SCADA, and Delta DDC systems - we combine deep technical expertise with field-tested execution to deliver precise, scalable, and high-performance solutions.

About the role:

The Senior Field DDC Engineer is an experienced technical contributor responsible for leading the deployment, commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimization of Delta Controls DDC-based building automation systems for mission-critical data center environments. This role serves as the primary technical resource on complex DDC projects, providing guidance to Field DDC Engineers while remaining highly hands-on in GCL+ programming, enteliWEB deployment, system integration, and commissioning.

The Senior Field DDC Engineer independently leads complex DDC implementations, mentors junior engineers, supports continuous improvement initiatives, and partners with project teams to ensure successful project execution. While this role provides technical leadership, it does not carry direct people management responsibilities.
