Job Description

Are you the kind of person who knows when a building doesn’t sound right? Do you love fine-tuning HVAC systems until they run like a dream and take pride in keeping things perfectly calibrated?

We’re looking for a HVAC/R Controls Engineer who can take charge of our facility’s brain — the network of controls that runs our HVAC, lighting, energy, and safety systems. You’ll manage, maintain, and optimize everything from chillers to lights to emergency generators — ensuring smooth, efficient, and safe operation every day. You’ll work with multiple trades, guide maintenance efforts, program controls, and solve complex system puzzles — all while keeping compliance and performance at the forefront.



Key Responsibilities

• Operate, monitor, troubleshoot, and fine-tune all BAS-controlled systems, including HVAC, lighting, irrigation, boilers, chillers, pumps, and more.
• Program and install new control systems; update settings, calibrate sensors, and ensure everything is performing as designed.
• Coordinate with HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shop leads to support the repair and maintenance of building equipment.
• Perform regular system reviews, analyze performance data, and recommend improvements for efficiency and reliability.
• Respond to alarms and failures, and conduct hands-on repair or adjustment of control systems using tools and technical documentation.
• Train and guide other engineers and techs on BAS functions and processes.
• Maintain detailed logs, reports, and compliance records in line with OSHA, TJC, NEC, NFC, and ASHRAE requirements.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Universal Refrigerant Certification (EPA 608).
• 5 years of experience in BAS installation, maintenance, and operation — or a combo of education and experience.
• Deep understanding of HVAC systems and building controls.
• Knowledge of OSHA, The Joint Commission, ASHRAE, and electrical/fire codes.
• Skilled with technical diagrams, schematics, tools, and diagnostic equipment.
• Strong leadership and communication skills to work with and support maintenance staff.
• Physically able to climb ladders, lift up to 50 lbs, push/pull up to 95 lbs, and wear a half-mask respirator.
• Valid driver’s license and compliance with fleet driving safety policy (if applicable).

• Formal technical training in HVAC Controls (e.g. trade school certification).
• 2+ years of experience in a hospital or healthcare environment.
