This position is responsible for providing high-quality engineering designs that align with project specifications, standards, budgets, and schedules while supporting the successful delivery of Building Automation Systems (BAS), Building Management Systems (BMS), and Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) solutions. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on building automation industry experience, strong project management skills, and the ability to independently oversee projects from design through construction.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the lead controls design engineer on medium to large BAS/BMS projects and complete tasks throughout the full design lifecycle, ensuring submittals are construction-ready.
• Develop, review, and coordinate controls designs, system architectures, wiring diagrams, control drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Manage controls submittals, material ordering, equipment selection, and project engineering deliverables.
• Review, price, and incorporate change orders into project design packages.
• Coordinate engineering activities with Schneider Electric's Global Engineering Center and oversee remote design resources as required.

• Identify anomalies or deficiencies in contract drawings and drive resolution through RFIs, customer communication, consultants, and trade coordination.
• Attend sales-to-operations turnover meetings and represent the engineering team with minimal supervision.
• Provide financial summaries of project equipment and support project managers in evaluating project performance against budget.
• Identify opportunities to substitute specified field devices with Schneider Electric preferred solutions and prepare substitution requests for project approval.
• Apply ASHRAE standards and HVAC best practices when developing control system designs.
• Identify value engineering opportunities and recommend alternate technical solutions that improve cost, constructability, and system performance.
• Coordinate activities within BIM models and collaborate with project BIM teams.
• Conduct site audits and field walkthroughs and convert findings into construction-ready submittals and design packages.
• Utilize engineering applications including Design 360, Prometheus, Microsoft Visio, AutoCAD, and other applicable design tools.
