- Work closely with Project Managers, Programmers, and Installation Teams throughout project delivery
- Support equipment selection and engineering calculations when required
- Coordinate with consulting engineers, general contractors, and end users
- Produce as-built documentation and project closeout packages
- Ensure designs meet project specifications, industry standards, and best practices
What We're Looking For
Required
- 3+ years of experience designing Building Automation, HVAC Controls, or Energy Management Systems
- Strong Microsoft Visio experience for controls drawings and system documentation
- Understanding of HVAC equipment, control sequences, and BAS architectures
- Experience creating submittals, network diagrams, points schedules, and control drawings

Nice to Have

Additional experience supporting data centers, healthcare, higher education, or other large commercial projects would be highly valued.
What's In It For You?
- Salary up to $130,000 depending on experience
- Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid holidays and generous PTO
- Long-term career growth opportunities
- Strong project pipeline across the DFW market
- Opportunity to work on complex, high-profile BAS projects
