Building Automation Controls Specialist (HVAC)

$45 - $55 per hour

Ambient Enterprises

Job Description

Job Description

Shape smarter buildings across Michigan

Imagine your day starting on a rooftop in Detroit, commissioning a new air-handling unit. By lunch, you’re tuning humidity control loops at a medical office, and in the afternoon you’re optimizing an energy management sequence for a client’s BAS. You close the day documenting updates in Visio and DraftSight, confident you’ve improved comfort, reliability, and efficiency. If that sounds like your kind of impact, you’ll thrive here.

What you’ll do
  • Install, program, commission, and service building automation and HVAC control systems for air-conditioning, heating, ventilation, humidity control, and energy management applications.
  • Troubleshoot, diagnose, and fine‑tune BAS performance; resolve controls and equipment issues in the field.
  • Support a growing service portfolio throughout the Michigan area while delivering outstanding customer service and dependable follow‑through.
Your toolkit and background
  • 3–5 years of hands-on experience with HVAC controls or building automation systems.
  • Familiarity with Facility Explorer / CCT.
  • Experience with the Distech controller line and GFX programming.
  • Proficiency within the Niagara ecosystem (e.g., EC‑Net, WEBs, Lynxspring, Vykon or comparable platforms).
  • Honeywell controls exposure preferred (not required).
  • Working knowledge of DraftSight and Microsoft Visio for drawings and documentation.
  • Field experience integrating controls with commercial HVAC systems, including rooftop units.
  • Ability to diagnose and repair control systems and associated HVAC equipment.
  • Personal hand tools required; clean driving record required.
  • OSHA 10‑hour training certification preferred.
Compensation

$45–$55 per hour, commensurate with experience and skill set.

  • HVAC
  • HVAC/R Systems
  • HVAC Service & Installation
  • HVAC Troubleshooting
