Job Description:
If you’ve got Niagara N4 in your toolkit, you already know how rare that skill set is and how much buildings depend on people who actually understand the platform, not just the panels.

You will be interfacing professionally with commercial building customers and contractors, programs and installs BAS and DDC (Direct Digital Control) control systems, and perform scheduled and routine maintenance on BAS components, including front-end systems, DDC controllers, and end devices. On a day-to-day basis you will respond to service calls, troubleshoot and repair control systems and connected devices, back up controller programs and BAS computers/servers, and use maintenance software to document services and manage work orders. This role provides steady, well-resourced work without getting stuck doing the same checklist every day. Your expertise will be highly valued at one of the largest facility solutions providers in the country, on a role built around stability, autonomy, and variety.
