The Senior BAS Field Installer is responsible for the safe, accurate, and efficient installation, startup, checkout, documentation, and field-level troubleshooting of commercial Building Automation Systems.

The role works closely with Project Management and Applications Engineering and may periodically serve as the senior CMS field representative on smaller projects or defined portions of larger projects.

Independently perform and support commercial BAS field execution, including:

• Install, terminate, configure, label, and check out DDC controllers, control panels, sensors, transmitters, actuators, relays, VFD and equipment interfaces, control wiring, communication networks, and third-party field devices.
• Work from control and mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, sequences of operation, points lists, submittals, network diagrams, specifications, and other construction documents.
• Perform point-to-point checkout; verify controller power, inputs and outputs, sensors, actuators, equipment enable/disable functions, addressing, communications, and basic controller or device configuration before commissioning.
• Install, verify, and troubleshoot field-level BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus RTU/TCP, RS-485, controller-to-controller communications, and third-party interfaces, including polarity, termination, addressing, and basic IP architecture.
• Diagnose and resolve field-level wiring, power, I/O, device, communication, addressing, equipment-interface, and installation issues; determine whether problems originate in field installation, mechanical equipment, programming, engineering, networking, or another trade.
• Apply practical knowledge of commercial HVAC systems, including AHUs, RTUs, VAV boxes, fan coils, heat pumps, chillers, boilers, cooling towers, pumps, VFDs, and ventilation systems, to verify controls operation.
• Maintain accurate checkout records, red‑line markups, device labeling, deficiency documentation, and field information needed for as-builts, punch lists, closeout, and turnover.
• Follow approved design, scope, codes, manufacturer requirements, and CMS standards; identify discrepancies, scope gaps, constructability concerns, material shortages, and schedule or labor impacts early.
• Clearly document and elevate advanced programming, engineered design or sequence changes, complex integration or networking, mechanical repair, and potential additional work before proceeding whenever practical.
