• Perform advanced diagnostics, troubleshooting, repairs, programming adjustments, and optimization of controls systems to achieve design intent and exceed performance expectations.
• Plan and execute full startups, functional testing, system balancing, and commissioning for sophisticated installations with minimal supervision.

• Collaborate with General Foremen, Superintendents, and Project Managers to develop retrofit plans, resource requirements, and risk assessments.
• Conduct detailed site surveys, provide written reports, and recommend proactive solutions to prevent issues from escalating.
• Ensure all work complies with EPA regulations, building codes, manufacturer specifications, and Modigent safety and quality standards.
• Mentor and train Controls Technicians I–III by demonstrating advanced techniques, sharing best practices, and supporting their professional growth.
• Document work thoroughly (work orders, reports, photos, as-builts, recommendations) and maintain accurate records for billing, warranty, and continuous improvement.
• Champion safety leadership through daily hazard assessments, toolbox talks, and enforcement of PPE and OSHA requirements.

Provides direct leadership and supervision to controls technician crews and subordinate technicians (Levels I–III); responsible for task delegation, performance monitoring, safety compliance, mentoring, and contributing to team development.

• Work Environment and Safety: Primarily field‑based in commercial/industrial settings (indoor/outdoor, rooftops, mechanical rooms, varying weather); exposure to noise, dust, heights, electrical hazards, and extreme temperatures; must strictly adhere to OSHA regulations, conduct hazard identification, and wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, harnesses, and steel‑toed boots at all times—safety is our top priority and non‑negotiable. Frequent regional travel within assigned market or on‑call rotations may be required as business needs dictate.

Required Skills
