Job description

We're on the lookout for a Controls System Specialist to join our team in Idaho. This role is ideal for someone who's passionate about building performance, thrives on solving technical problems, and enjoys the challenge of programming and commissioning smart HVAC control systems.

As a Controls System Specialist, you'll take the lead in the installation, programming, and commissioning of Building Automation Systems (BAS). You'll work closely with project teams and customers to bring advanced HVAC controls systems to life-configuring networked systems, writing job-specific sequences, and ensuring each system operates at peak performance.

Responsibilities:

  • Commission, troubleshoot, and service DDC control systems in commercial buildings.
  • Perform system startups, test sequences of operation, and ensure smooth project handoffs.
  • Modify and maintain as-built drawings using Visio, Word, and Excel.
  • Program custom sequences for various applications involving HVAC, lighting, and energy systems.
  • Set up graphical user interfaces and configure networked BAS communications.
  • Backup databases, perform diagnostics, and recalibrate field devices using meters and laptops.
  • Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and service teams to keep projects on track.
  • Serve as a technical liaison and direct point of contact for customers during system installations and service visits.
  • Maintain thorough records-daily logs, site reports, timesheets, and expense forms.
  • Ensure safety protocols are followed at all times and keep tools/equipment secure.

Requirements

  • High School Diploma or equivalent required; trade school or technical certifications preferred.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience working with BAS/DDC controls.
  • Strong working knowledge of HVAC systems, direct digital controls, and system networking.
  • Familiarity with commissioning tools, multimeters, and software interfaces.
  • Ability to read schematics, blueprints, and technical diagrams.
  • Experience with BACnet, Modbus, or similar communication protocols a plus.
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record.

Salary: $35 - $45 per hour
