Job Summary:

The Controls (BAS) Technician programs, commissions, and troubleshoots building automation and DDC control systems across commercial buildings. This role spans the laptop and the mechanical room: writing and tuning operating sequences, building graphics, and configuring controllers — then verifying that equipment actually runs as designed.

A successful Controls Technician integrates chilled-water plants, air handlers, VAVs, and building-wide HVAC systems to operate reliably and efficiently. The role works closely with service and project technicians, supporting controls diagnostics in the field and commissioning new and retrofitted equipment.
 

We value the technician who can read the mechanical room — not just the codebase. Strong candidates are equally comfortable on a laptop in a control room and on a ladder in a mechanical space, troubleshooting equipment behavior end to end.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Program, commission & troubleshoot BAS / DDC control systems
• Write and tune sequences of operation
• Build and edit graphics and operator interfaces
• Configure controllers, set up trends and alarms

Required Skills and Abilities

• 5+ years of hands-on BAS / DDC experience in commercial buildings
• Fluent in at least one major platform – Niagara / Tridium, Distech, or ALC WebCTRL

• Reads sequences of operation, points lists, and mechanical drawings
• Understands HVAC equipment well enough to know when the controls are lying
