  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel as needed
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Building Automation Systems (BAS) or Building Management Systems (BMS)
  • Experience with Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS)
  • Experience with data center, industrial, manufacturing, or mission-critical projects
  • Familiarity with BACnet, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, or other industrial communication protocols
  • Experience developing HMI graphics and operator dashboards
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Automation, Controls, Computer Science, Electrical Technology, or related field
  • Experience supporting commissioning and startup activities
Benefits
  • Competitive Compensation
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays
  • Company-Paid Life Insurance
