  • Standardize and continuously refine engineering documentation, specs, and processes across all projects.

Project Integration & Execution

  • Partner with divisional leaders and project managers to align system designs with schedule and budget requirements.
  • Interface with subcontractors and vendors to ensure proper installation, compliance, and performance to spec.
  • Review and validate control system submittals, identify integration risks, and coordinate across trades to avoid clashes.

    • Startup, Commissioning & Optimization

  • Lead system startup and commissioning in the field, ensuring functionality, safety, and seamless operation across platforms.
  • Create and implement commissioning plans that meet quality assurance benchmarks and industry best practices.
  • Troubleshoot and calibrate systems during handoff, validating performance through comprehensive functional testing.
  • Deliver hands-on training to client teams and provide long-term support on system maintenance and optimization.

    • Strategic & Technical Development

  • Research new technologies in control system components, networking, and automation tools to recommend future enhancements.
  • Support sales and business development teams with accurate system capability insights during project scoping and proposals.
  • Build relationships with key suppliers and stay current on vendor offerings to ensure competitive and cutting-edge solutions.

    • What You Bring :

  • Bachelors degree in electrical or mechanical engineering with a focus on controls or automation.
  • 5+ years of experience designing, programming, and commissioning control systems for commercial or industrial environments.
  • Advanced knowledge of HVAC automation, BAS, and integrated systems.
  • Proficiency in reading technical drawings, programming platforms (e.g., Siemens, Delta, Johnson Controls), and relevant software tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit).
  • Familiarity with cleanroom or critical environment standards is a plus.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to travel to project sites as needed (25-50%).
