Commissioning & Controls Engineer (eMEP)

DMA Engineering – Commissioning & Controls Engineer

DMA Engineering is looking for a hands-on, certified Commissioning & Controls Engineer to lead commissioning and controls delivery across our commercial, residential and community project portfolio. In this role, you will own the path from design intent to installed, tuned, and verified performance -- combining commissioning rigor, Tridium Niagara programming, SkySpark analytics, and real field work, possibly even with the wire strippers in your hand.

We are seeking someone who is resourceful, technically deep, and confident making decisions in the field and at the design table. If you are tired of being boxed into either pure paperwork commissioning or pure controls programming, this role lets you do both with excellence on projects that matter.

Role Description

This is a rare seat for an engineer who wants to see a project all the way through. As a Commissioning & Controls Engineer, you will translate design intent into operating reality. It will be you who writes the commissioning plan, programs the controllers, terminates the wires, witnesses the tests, and stands behind the analytics that prove the building works.

You will join a founder-run, entrepreneurial team that values sustainable eMEP design and pushes beyond standard practice and minimal codes. DMA's roots are in geothermal HVAC and high-performance systems, and our commissioning and analytics work is what proves those systems actually deliver. You will be a critical strategic partner on every project you touch to drive the outcomes that owners and operators feel immediately. This role is for engineers who are tired of bureaucratic systems and cubicles and want a position where their craftsmanship, professional experience and judgment truly matter.

Minimum Requirements

• Four years of associated field experience, Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Mechanical is a plus but not required. Hands-on experience is highly valued for this position.
• Technical training combined with the ability to earn certifications and demonstrate your experience
• Demonstrated ability to run and terminate controls wiring in the field on a low-voltage control installation, including clean labeling and as-built documentation
• Working knowledge of how to troubleshoot and commission HVAC systems and BAS systems
• Two or more years of experience working on commissioning or controls scopes on a project

Willing to Earn these Certifications (in this order)

• Tridium Niagara certification
• SkySpark Essentials class certificate, followed by demonstration of proficiency with building rules, dashboards, and ongoing analytics in SkySpark
• Certification from ASHRAE (BCxP) or AEE (CBCP or CxA)
