HVAC Controls Engineer

Mechanical Resource Group

HVAC Controls Engineer

Make an impact. Build your career. Lead and Serve.

Are you looking for more than just a job? Do you want to use your skills, contribute to meaningful work, and be part of a team that values your expertise and invests in your growth?

Mechanical Resource Group (MRG) is seeking an HVAC Controls Engineer with expert-level experience in Distech Controls and the Niagara platform. This role is responsible for designing, programming, integrating, and commissioning complex HVAC control systems and serving as a technical authority across projects.

This is an opportunity to join a family-owned company with more than 25 years of experience, a strong reputation for integrity and technical excellence, and a culture built around a simple mission: Lead and Serve.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Make an Impact: Your work directly contributes to the success of our customers, projects, and company.
  • Do Meaningful Work: Take on challenges that allow you to apply your expertise, solve problems, and create value.
  • Be Part of a Team: Collaborate with talented professionals who value accountability, communication, and shared success.
  • Keep Growing: Learn from experienced industry professionals and gain opportunities to expand your skills and career.
  • Build Something Long-Term: Join a family-owned company that values relationships, invests in its people, and is committed to continued growth.
What You'll Do
  • Design and implement complex HVAC control systems using Distech GFX and Niagara, ensuring compliance with project requirements and industry standards.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to develop controls engineers and programmers, reinforcing engineering standards and best practices.
  • Develop and review detailed control schematics, risers, and layouts to support accurate installation and commissioning.
  • Work closely with project managers, field technicians, and engineers to translate designs into executable systems.
  • Ensure all engineering deliverables meet MRG quality standards from design through final system turnover.
  • Support field execution and project delivery in coordination with Controls Operations.
  • Lead or support high-level system integrations, network strategy, and third-party coordination.
  • Provide advanced technical support, customer training, and system walkthroughs to ensure a successful handoff.
What Will Help You Succeed

You may be a strong fit if you bring:

  • 10+ years of experience as a Controls Engineer supporting commercial HVAC systems
  • Expert-level experience with Distech Controls (ECLYPSE/ECB platforms)
  • Expert-level experience with Niagara including station architecture, drivers, licensing, and security
  • Strong system-level troubleshooting and integration experience
  • Knowledge of BACnet, MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus, and networked BAS architecture
  • Deep understanding of commercial HVAC equipment (AHU's, VAV's, boilers, chillers, etc.)
  • Ability to read, interpret, and review construction documents and blueprints, along with strong written and verbal communication skills for customer and team interaction
  • Self-directed, accountable, and customer-focused mindset
  • A valid driver's license, safe driving record, and be able and willing to operate company-owned vehicles

A collaborative approach, personal accountability, and a commitment to continuous learning. You'll thrive here if you...

  • Enjoy earning trust and developing long-term customer relationships.
  • Are energized by technical challenges and practical problem-solving.
  • Communicate with confidence, curiosity, and professionalism.
  • Work well independently while contributing fully to a team.
  • Want to keep growing--personally, professionally, and technically.
