• Program or modify control logic and sequences of operation
• Troubleshoot HVAC controls, sensors, actuators, VFDs, and control networks
• Support BACnet/IP, Modbus, Ethernet, and other building automation communication protocols
• Read and interpret MEP drawings, electrical schematics, and controls diagrams
• Support project commissioning, turnover activities, and owner demonstrations
• Coordinate with project managers, electricians, mechanical contractors, and commissioning teams
• Maintain accurate documentation including as-builts, redlines, startup reports, and testing records
• Mentor junior technicians and provide technical guidance as needed

• Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills
• Comfortable working in active construction and mission-critical data center environments

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with Schneider EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO) preferred; comparable BAS platforms (Niagara N4, Siemens Desigo, Johnson Controls Metasys, Honeywell EBI, or similar) also considered
