• Diagnose HVAC, electrical, controls, software, and communication issues.
• Learn to program, configure, commission, and optimize building automation systems.
• Use trends and system data to find the root cause of building performance problems.
• Work with air-handling systems, VAVs, chilled-water systems, boilers, chillers, and other commercial HVAC equipment.
• Communicate directly with customers to understand their concerns and explain technical issues clearly.
• Recommend repairs, upgrades, and system improvements that improve building performance.
• Assist with system layouts, sequences of operation, control drawings, and project documentation.
• Train customers on the operation of their building automation systems.
• Work alongside experienced controls professionals and develop your technical skills.
• As your experience grows, help mentor and support other technicians.
• Maintain a strong commitment to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction

• Ability to learn new software and navigate computer-based technical applications.
• Comfort troubleshooting problems involving a combination of mechanical equipment, electronics, software, and communications.
• Electrical and mechanical troubleshooting ability.
• Logical problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to communicate effectively with customers and other technicians.
