BAS Controls Systems Service Technician

The Opportunity

Midwest Applied Solutions is looking for a BAS Controls Systems Service Technician to help customers keep their building automation systems running well. You'll work with a team to startup, commission, troubleshoot, repair and improve systems at existing customer sites, retrofit projects and new construction sites.

Experience building automation systems is helpful, but you do not need to know every system or have every certification to apply. We are willing to teach and train someone who is dependable, curious, committed to quality work, and motivated to master the trade. As your skills grow, you'll take on more complex work and greater independence.

What You'll Do

• Build positive relationships with customers and communicate clearly about your work.
• Help diagnose system issues and make repairs, adjustments, or component replacements.
• Perform preventive maintenance and check that systems operate as intended.
• Assist with system checkout, startup, commissioning, and upgrades.
• Learn to create and modify BAS graphics and programming, including Niagara.
• Identify opportunities to improve building operations and energy efficiency.
• Work with teammates, share what you learn, and ask questions when you need support.
• Document work and follow through on customer needs.

What We're Looking For

• A strong commitment to learning, solving problems, and doing quality work.
• Reliability, professionalism, and care for customers and teammates.
• Clear verbal and written communication skills.
• Comfort using computers and learning new software and systems.
• Ability to use hand and power tools and work safely in the field.
• A valid driver's license with a clean driving history.
• Flexibility to work overtime, weekends, or an on-call schedule as needed. Occasional out-of-town travel may be required.

Experience That Would Be Helpful

The following experience is preferred, but we encourage you to apply even if you do not have all of it:

• HVAC, electrical, mechanical, controls, or building automation experience.
• Familiarity with Niagara N4, Honeywell WEBs, or other control systems.
• Knowledge of BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus, or IP networks.
• Ability to read plans, submittal drawings, or wiring diagrams.
• Trade school training, military technical training, or relevant certifications.

Work Environment and Physical Requirements

This role involves working at multiple customer sites, sometimes on the same day. The work may require standing, walking, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling. The employee must regularly lift or move up to 25 pounds and occasionally lift or move up to 75 pounds.

This job description is not intended to include every duty. Responsibilities may change based on the needs of the organization.
