You'll work across Delta, Distech Controls (EC‑Net), and Tridium Niagara (AX/N4) platforms to deliver high-quality, standards‑driven solutions for new construction, retrofits, and service projects.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a remote environment, communicates clearly with distributed teams and customers, and takes end‑to‑end ownership-from point mapping to graphics to sequence tuning.
What You'll Do
Programming & Configuration
- Develop and modify Delta Controls programs (e.g., GCL+) for AHUs, VAVs, boilers/chillers, and complex plant sequences.
- Configure and commission Distech EC‑Net applications and Tridium Niagara N4/AX stations, including points, logic, schedules, and alarms.
- Build reusable function blocks, libraries, and standardized templates to speed deployment and ensure consistency.
Integration & Networking
- Integrate devices and subsystems via BACnet/IP, MS/TP, Modbus TCP/RTU, and Lon (as applicable).
- Configure BACnet device instances, BBMDs, and routing; manage Niagara drivers and network hierarchies.
- Implement secure remote access, certificate management, and follow OT cybersecurity best practices.
Visualization & UX
- Create intuitive graphics and dashboards (EnteliWEB/enteliWEB plugins, Niagara Workbench, EC‑Net) with trends, KPIs, and diagnostic views.
- Program alarming, scheduling, trend logs, and summaries aligned to sequence-of-operations.
Commissioning & Support
- Perform remote startup and functional testing; collaborate with field techs for I/O checkout and tuning.
- Troubleshoot controls issues, network faults, and integration problems; deliver clear documentation and as‑builts.
- Provide owner training and ongoing optimization for comfort, energy, and reliability.
Project Delivery
- Read and interpret mechanical plans, control submittals, I/O lists, and sequence of operations.
- Maintain version control of programs, graphics, and databases; follow project standards and naming conventions.
- Contribute to estimating, scope reviews, and value engineering as needed.
Must‑Have Qualifications
- 3+ years programming Delta Controls (Deltas: DDC controllers, GCL+, enteliWEB/ENTELIWEB).
- Hands-on experience with Distech Controls (EC‑Net) and Tridium Niagara (N4/AX)-including station/database development, drivers, PX graphics, users/roles, and backups.
- Strong understanding of HVAC control sequences (VAV, AHU, RTU, chiller/boiler plants, heat pumps, DOAS, economizers).
- Proficiency with BACnet and Modbus; point discovery, mapping, and controller/network troubleshooting.
- Comfortable with IP networking fundamentals (VLANs, DHCP reservations, NAT, firewall rules, BBMDs).
- Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment with excellent documentation and communication skills.
