Senior Instrumentation Technician - BAS​/HVAC

Patient Care and Prevention Facilities (PC&PF) plays a vital role in supporting MD Anderson Cancer Center by ensuring all facilities remain safe, compliant, and fully operational while driving key construction and modernization initiatives. Our team works in a collaborative, hands‑on environment where every individual is valued, and no task is considered above or below anyone— including leadership. By maintaining and optimizing critical systems such as HVAC, BAS communication, and environmental controls in sensitive clinical areas, our work directly supports world‑class patient care.

Candidates joining PC&PF can expect a supportive, team‑oriented workplace that values expertise, open communication, and continuous improvement.

The ideal candidate brings hands‑on experience in building automation systems—preferably within a hospital environment—and demonstrates a strong foundation in troubleshooting and maintaining HVAC systems. They possess general BAS knowledge, familiarity with building automation controls, and the ability to diagnose issues related to hot water, chilled water, humidity, temperature, and air pressure systems commonly found in pharmacy and OR settings. While BAS experience is a must‑have, candidates with additional skills such as MAXIMO (CMMS) experience, installation of valves and actuators (particularly SIEMENS products), electronic control systems, and communication with BOT teams on BAS signals and data will be highly valued.

The ideal candidate is adaptable, team‑oriented, and motivated to contribute to a department where every role is respected and collaborative problem‑solving is central to success.
