Building Automation (HVAC) Controls Engineer

Building Automation (HVAC) Controls Engineer

Transform the everyday with us! Building Automation Engineers serve as a technical leader during pre-construction and early project phases, translating owner and project requirements into coordinated, constructible BAS design-assist solutions. This role partners closely with Engineers of Record, contractors, and internal delivery teams to identify risks early, resolve integration and constructability challenges, and deliver complete, compliant, and commissioning-ready engineering packages. The Engineer ensures alignment between contract scope, design intent, and execution strategy while supporting complex projects across a wide range of vertical markets.

As a Building Automation Engineer, you will:

• Understand project requirements and design building automation solutions for data centers, hospitals, pharmaceutical facilities, high-rise buildings, and lab facilities.
• Demonstrate expertise in engineering, contracting processes, and design build, with a strong grasp of submittal requirements and documentation standards essential for project success.
• Collaborate directly with clients and the EOR to protect design intent and drive cost-effective technical decisions, including site visits and in-person working sessions to develop and document client engineering standards.
• Perform engineering site surveys to gather asbuilt documentation, verify existing conditions, and identify potential challenges.
• Attend internal and external meetings to support potential opportunities and contribute technical details to project designs.
• Prepare and/or work with an engineer to prepare design documents, including mechanical system layouts, electrical drawings, system integration, bills of materials, sequences of operations, valve and damper schedules, and DDC panel layouts.
• Design building automation network architecture to support operator workstations, DDC field panels, and third-party integration devices connected through Modbus, Siemens APOGEE, Desigo or BACnet.
• Analyze plans, construction contract specifications, and codes to determine project requirements and risks.
• Design building and space pressurization solutions, chiller and boiler plant sequencing control, etc.
• Prepare engineering re-estimates and follow up with appropriate sales and management to ensure understanding of and satisfaction with job scope.
• Act as a resource and mentor for junior colleagues, offering constructive feedback and support to aid their professional growth.
• Perform quality assurance; peer-review engineering documents.

You will make an impact with these qualifications:

• Associate or Bachelor's Degree
• 5+ years of experience in building automation (HVAC controls) design:
• Ability to travel up to 35%
• Occasional travel will be required for important team gatherings, project kick-offs, strategic discussions, or training
• Must be able to demonstrate:
• Demonstrated ability to design large and complex jobs with some deviation using standard tools, products, and practices
• Demonstrated knowledge of industry engineering fundamentals and business operations
• Demonstrated proficiency in AutoCAD
• Legally authorized to work in the United States on a continual and permanent basis without company sponsorship
• Position will be hybrid with visits to the local area office, contractor
