Controls Technician

Commercial Building Automation & HVAC Controls

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a growing building automation and HVAC solutions provider seeking a Controls Technician to support the installation, programming, commissioning, and ongoing service of commercial building automation systems.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining hands-on field work with technical problem solving. You’ll work on a variety of commercial projects, helping customers improve building performance, occupant comfort, and energy efficiency through modern automation technologies.

If you have experience with HVAC controls, DDC systems, or building automation platforms—and enjoy working directly with customers—we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Install, program, troubleshoot, and commission commercial building automation systems
  • Configure controllers, graphics, alarms, and system sequences based on project requirements
  • Read and interpret mechanical drawings, control schematics, and construction documents
  • Perform system startup, testing, validation, and functional performance verification
  • Assist with programming modifications, electrical terminations, and field commissioning activities
  • Create and maintain project documentation, including as-built drawings and closeout materials
  • Diagnose and resolve control system issues in both new construction and retrofit environments
  • Support multiple projects while effectively managing priorities and deadlines
  • Train end users on system operation and provide ongoing customer support
  • Maintain strong communication with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, and customers throughout the project lifecycle
  • Travel to customer sites as needed, including occasional overnight travel

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience working with building automation systems, HVAC controls, or commercial mechanical systems
  • Solid understanding of HVAC equipment, control strategies, and direct digital controls (DDC)
  • Ability to read control drawings, wiring diagrams, and mechanical plans
  • Experience commissioning and troubleshooting commercial automation systems
  • Strong customer service and communication skills
  • Comfortable working independently in the field with minimal supervision
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Tridium Niagara (Niagara AX or Niagara 4)
  • Experience with Alerton building automation systems
  • Familiarity with new construction, retrofit, and service projects
  • Tridium Niagara Certification is a plus (or willingness to obtain certification through employer-sponsored training)

Work Environment

This position is primarily field-based and involves working in commercial buildings, construction sites, mechanical rooms, and equipment spaces. Technicians should be comfortable working around mechanical equipment, electrical systems, ladders, and varying weather conditions while following all safety protocols.

Occasional lifting, climbing, bending, and extended periods of standing or walking are part of the role.

Why Join?

  • Sign-on bonus available for qualified candidates
  • Employer-sponsored Tridium Niagara certification and technical training
  • Opportunity to work with leading building automation technologies
  • Diverse commercial projects with room for technical growth and advancement
  • Stable, full-time position with overtime opportunities based on project workload
