• Experience with building automation systems (BAS) — HVAC controls, building management/monitoring platforms, or similar automated facility systems — is a strong plus
• Willingness and availability to be on‑call
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, dependability, and the ability to stay organized and meet deadlines
