We are seeking an HVAC Controls Technician in the Birmingham, AL area for our Commercial HVAC Service client!!

• Hands-on experience with a DDC/BAS platform such as Honeywell, Trane, JCI Metasys, Distech, Automated Logic, Siemens or Schneider. Niagara is a strong plus
• A strong mechanical foundation: chillers, RTUs, AHUs, VAVs and boilers, and you know how a building should operate
• Basic BACnet, Modbus and IP networking knowledge
• Valid driver's license with a clean 3-year driving record, and able to pass a background check and drug screen
• High school diploma or GED. An associate degree, technical certification or factory controls training is a plus
