Field Technician - Building Automation

Building Automation Technician

Automated Solutions Group, Ltd. | Dayton, Ohio

Do You Love Working With Your Hands and Solving Real Problems?

If you'd rather be in the field troubleshooting equipment than sitting behind a desk all day, this may be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Automated Solutions Group, Ltd. is seeking a Building Automation Technician who enjoys working directly with HVAC systems, controls, wiring, and building technology. This is a hands-on technical role for someone who takes pride in diagnosing problems, making repairs, commissioning systems, and seeing the immediate impact of their work.

We're looking for practical problem-solvers, technicians, electricians, HVAC professionals, controls specialists, military technicians, and mechanically inclined individuals who enjoy working in commercial and industrial environments. If your experience was gained in the field rather than a classroom, we'd love to talk with you.

• Completing service calls, preventative maintenance, and system upgrades
• Interacting with customers and providing technical support
• Working independently in the field while managing service assignments
