About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Building Automation Systems (BAS) Technician — the kind of tech who can take a controls project from install to commissioning without missing a step. You’ll be working on high-end commercial HVAC systems with advanced automation and integration across multiple platforms.
If you live for clean control logic, tight loops, and systems that trend beautifully — this is your kind of work.
Key Responsibilities
- Commission, calibrate, and troubleshoot DDC controls for AHUs, VAVs, chillers, boilers, and VFDs.
- Perform point-to-point checkout, I/O verification, and sequence validation.
- Program, edit, and tune PID loops for stable temperature and pressure control.
- Configure and optimize BACnet/IP, MSTP, and Modbus networks.
- Build and maintain front-end graphics, alarms, and schedules in Tridium Niagara, Metasys, or Siemens Desigo.
- Lead functional testing and turnover documentation.
- Collaborate with commissioning agents and project managers for spec compliance.
What You Bring
- 5+ years hands-on BAS or Controls experience (installation through commissioning).
- Solid understanding of HVAC mechanical systems and sequences of operation.
- Experience with major platforms: Niagara, Johnson Controls, Siemens, or Honeywell.
- Strong electrical and networking skills (IP addressing, subnetting, comm bus troubleshooting).
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical and control drawings.
- Professional communication and documentation habits.
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Competitive pay and benefits.
- Projects that challenge your logic and reward your craftsmanship.
- Supportive team that values integrity, efficiency, and professionalism.
