HVAC Controls Analyst III

Technical Controls Analyst

This role serves as a technical resource supporting Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) projects, with a primary focus on HVAC system optimization, operational performance, and verification of energy savings outcomes. Projects are typically complex, multi-building and multi-campus portfolios within higher education and healthcare environments, involving substantial mechanical infrastructure and advanced, integrated control strategies.

The position works closely with engineering and commissioning teams to evaluate existing BAS architecture, troubleshoot system performance issues, and deploy advanced HVAC sequences of operation across air and hydronic systems. Responsibilities include performing site assessments, analyzing trend data, developing and modifying DDC logic, validating sequence implementation, and supporting functional testing and ongoing optimization activities.

The Controls Analyst is expected to possess advanced knowledge of HVAC systems, BAS platforms, networked controls, and energy conservation measures, with a strong emphasis on high-performance building operations. The role requires the ability to translate engineering intent into effective control logic, lead complex troubleshooting efforts, and implement programming approaches that support scalable and repeatable energy savings outcomes.

Successful candidates demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, deep experience with retro-commissioning and HVAC optimization, and the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary project teams while maintaining a focus on quality, execution, and driving measurable operational performance improvements.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Strong understanding of DDC controls
• Develop and implement energy conservation measures including but not limited to room ventilation schedules per ASHRAE guidelines with project delivery team
• Leads surveys, documentation review, and due diligence activities to determine facility conditions and develop applicable energy conservation measures
• Participate in retro-commissioning and commissioning efforts on assigned projects
• Troubleshoot, optimize, and modify building automation system programming to implement energy conservation measures within existing sequences
• Interact directly with the project team to ensure high quality, functional and optimized systems are delivered
• Utilize test instrumentation to troubleshoot, verify, and optimize building system operation
• Maintain awareness of energy performance for assigned scopes through the duration of the project
• Collaborate with the project team to ensure performance targets are met and maintained
• Drive corrective actions when scope or performance gaps are identified
• Ensure issues are properly identified and communicated to project team
• Assist with the resolution of issues by proposing and tracking implementation of solutions to the project team
• Proactively address and escalate as required, constraints to achieving project outcomes and scope completion
• Familiarity with building automation systems software
• Strong communication and coordination ski

Required Education, Experience, and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, construction management or related field or 4 years of experience in lieu of degree
• 5+ years of experience in HVAC controls, design, energy management, or other relevant fields
• Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Strong scope management and scheduling skills
• Ability to interact with owners, owner's representatives, contractors, engineers and architects in a professional manner while effectively driving project outcome
• Strong knowledge of commercial MEP equipment design and operations

Preferred Education, Experience, and Qualifications:

• Commissioning Certification from ACG, BCxA, ASHRAE
• Registered Engineering Intern (EI) certification or Professional Engineer (PE) Licensure
• Certified Energy Manager (CEM)
• Proficient with Bluebeam Studio and Revu software
• Strong technical background in the development, review, and refinement of HVAC sequences of operation, with direct experience implementing control logic across platforms such as Siemens, JCI, Niagara, Schneider Electric, Alerton, ALC, and Honeywell

Travel Requirements:

• 30%-40% of time will be spent traveling to job site(s)/office location.

Physical/Work Environment Requirements:

• Combination of an office environment and site survey environment.
• Exposure to external weather, loud noises, and poorly accessible spaces.
• Confined spaces within a facility.
• Ascend and descend ladders.

Pay Range: USD $88,380.00 - USD $117,970.00 /Yr.
