This position description is subject to change at any time as needed to meet the requirements of the program or company.
This position is contingent upon contract award.

• Operate and monitor ICS/BAS platforms (e.g., Siemens Desigo, Tridium Niagara, Honeywell EBI) to ensure continuous support for mission-essential facilities.
• Maintain situational awareness of system performance across real property installed equipment (RPIE), prioritizing up time for critical assets (e.g., SCIFs, data centers, medical facilities).
• Execute real-time diagnostics, alarm triage, and root cause analysis to prevent mission degradation.
• Lead implementation of control sequences per UFC 3-410-02 and ASHRAE guidelines.
• Adjust setpoints, schedules, and control logic to optimize energy use and meet Air Force energy intensity reduction goals.
• Coordinate with HVAC, electrical, and mechanical shops to validate field device functionality and system integration.
• Enforce Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls for ICS per DoDI 8500.01 and NIST SP 800-82.
• Maintain system hardening, patching, and access control in coordination with Base Communications Squadron and AFCEC.
• Ensure compliance with AF Form 332 processes, Configuration Control Boards (CCBs), and change management protocols.
• Maintain accurate system schematics, point lists, and sequence of operations.
• Generate reports for energy usage, fault trends, and system health to support CE leadership and AFCEC audits.
• Support performance-based service contracts with data-driven insights and technical validation.
• Train CE personnel and contractors on BAS interfaces, alarm response, and system navigation.
• Participate in design reviews, commissioning, and acceptance testing for MILCON and sustainment projects.
• Liaise with AFCEC, MAJCOM engineers, and base energy managers to align ICS operations with enterprise goals.
• Respond to emergency calls and participate in on-call rotation as needed to support 24/7 operations.
• Assist in training lower-level operators and participate in continuous improvement initiatives.
• Document system changes and maintain accurate records of maintenance and repairs.
