Building Automation Controls Tech

We are seeking an experienced Building Automation Controls Technician with strong, current, hands-on experience with Tridium Niagara 4 and commercial HVAC building automation systems
.

This is not an entry-level controls position
. We are looking for a technician who can work independently in the field and be productive with Niagara 4 from day one.

The ideal candidate can arrive at a commercial facility with a laptop and JACE
, evaluate the existing system, troubleshoot issues, and begin productive work without requiring continuous technical supervision.

This position combines field service, programming, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer interaction
.

• Commission and configure JACEs
  .
• Build and configure Niagara 4 stations
  .
• Discover, integrate, and configure field devices.
• Program HVAC building automation control logic.
• Create and modify Niagara graphics.

• Communicate with customers and explain system issues and completed work.
• Work with equipment and controls from multiple manufacturers.
• Document service activities, system changes, and completed work.

• 5+ years of commercial HVAC building automation experience.
• Minimum 3 years of current, hands‑on Tridium Niagara 4 experience.
• Recent experience actively working within Niagara 4.
• Experience must include more than simply monitoring systems or making basic adjustments.

• Demonstrated ability to work independently in the field.
• Ability to troubleshoot unfamiliar BAS systems without requiring continuous supervision.

• Device integration
• Control logic programming
• Histories

• Scheduling
• Point‑to‑point checkout
• System startup

We are looking for someone who can walk into an unfamiliar commercial building, connect to the BAS, evaluate the system, gather the necessary information, troubleshoot methodically, and determine what needs to happen next.

The successful candidate should understand both:

• Programming
• Graphics
• Device integration
• Networks
• Histories and alarms

• Commercial HVAC equipment
• Sensors
• Actuators
• Valves
• Dampers
• Controllers

Candidates whose Niagara experience is primarily from an earlier period of their career, or whose recent experience is limited to monitoring systems, making basic adjustments, or working from programming completed by others, will not meet the requirements for this position.

• The ideal candidate is an experienced BAS professional who can independently handle installation, programming, commissioning, service, and troubleshooting in commercial facilities.
• You should be comfortable walking into a customer facility, assessing an unfamiliar system, working with a JACE and laptop, troubleshooting the controls network, and bringing the system online.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to interact professionally with customers are also important.
