  • Build strong relationships with clients and act as a technical leader in the field

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience working with Building Automation Systems (BAS)
  • Strong leadership, supervisory, or mentoring experience
  • Advanced proficiency with Tridium Niagara, which is a key requirement for this role
  • Experience commissioning, programming, troubleshooting, or supporting BAS/DDC systems
  • Knowledge of additional DDC platforms such as Siemens, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric, Distech, Alerton, Delta Controls, Honeywell, Automated Logic, or similar systems would be highly advantageous
  • Strong problem-solving skills and customer-facing communication abilities
  • Ability to lead from the front and support project delivery across multiple sites

  • Company vehicle provided
  • Company fuel card / expenses card

  • Comprehensive healthcare and benefits package
  • 3-4 weeks of paid time off

Work on some of the region's most interesting automation projects including:
  • Major healthcare and hospital facilities
  • Research laboratories
  • K-12 and higher education campuses
  • Commercial office buildings
