Job Description

Controls Technician / ProgrammerFull-Time | $30–$45/hr + Full Benefits

We’re looking to bring on a Controls Technician / Programmer to support HVAC and building automation projects, focused on system design, programming, and commissioning.

This role is a solid mix of hands-on technical work and project support — working with control systems from design through startup, while coordinating with internal teams, subcontractors, and customers to make sure everything is installed and operating correctly.

Good opportunity for someone with strong Metasys experience who wants to continue building within BAS/BMS systems in a stable environment with long-term growth.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Develop hardware selections and control system designs based on project requirements
  • Create flow diagrams, sequences of operation, bills of material, network layouts, and electrical schematics
  • Program HVAC control systems using established standards
  • Support submittals by coordinating drawings, equipment schedules, and technical documentation
  • Order and track materials, and coordinate with factory builds and project schedules
  • Assist with system startup, controller loading, and full system commissioning
  • Troubleshoot issues alongside subcontractors and other trades to ensure proper system operation
  • Capture field changes and update as-built drawings and programming
  • Support customer handoff, including documentation and basic training on system operation
  • Keep project teams informed on progress, issues, and timelines
  • Handle standard project documentation (timesheets, reports, etc.)
  • Maintain strong focus on safety across all work

What they’re looking for:

Required:

  • ~3+ years working with building automation / HVAC controls
  • Hands-on experience installing or commissioning Metasys systems (system-level controllers)
  • Experience with Metasys tools like CCT, SCT, RAC schedules, and Visio
  • Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and control systems
  • Solid technical aptitude and comfort working with design/programming tools

Nice to have:

  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree (Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science), or 5+ years in HVAC/controls
  • Broader experience with control system design, commissioning, or building system integration

Comp & Perks:

  • $30–$45/hr depending on experience
  • Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k, etc.)
  • Paid training + growth opportunities
  • Company vehicle (where applicable)
  • Strong long-term stability with a well-established organization
