  • Assist field technicians with remote troubleshooting of HVAC and controls components 
  • Assist customers with BMS adjustments remotely (setpoints, schedules, overrides) 
  • Monitor alarms and trends for HVAC equipment: AHUs, RTUs, Boilers, chillers, VAVs, pumps, and associated systems 
  • Acknowledge, prioritize, and triage alarms 
  • Distinguish nuisance alarms from true faults 
  • Identify cause vs symptom 
  • Identify faulty components or faulty equipment 
  • Escalate issues with clear, actionable documentation 
  • Participate in a scheduled on-call rotation 
  • Perform approved BAS maintenance tasks remotely (point checks, schedule reviews, alarm maintenance, backups where applicable). 
  • Collaborate with team members to implement system upgrades and improvements 
  • Collaborate with team members to diagnose and resolve technical issues effectively 
  • Maintain accurate records of service calls, repairs, and system maintenance activities
