Controls Design Engineer – Building Automation Systems

Building Automation Systems Design Manager

We are seeking an experienced Controls Design Engineer to support the design and delivery of Building Automation Systems for large, complex facilities. This role focuses on producing high‑quality, constructible controls designs that align with project standards, operational intent, and real‑world installation constraints.

The ideal candidate mirrors the manager’s mindset: technically sharp, detail‑driven, and capable of thinking beyond diagrams to how systems are actually built, commissioned, and maintained.

• Develop BAS controls design packages, including:
• System architecture diagrams
• Control schematics and network layouts
• Sequences of operation
• Points lists and I/O documentation
• Support projects in large, multi‑building environments (airports, government, campuses)
• Coordinate with mechanical, electrical, and IT stakeholders
• Review and redline controls submittals for accuracy and constructability
• Assist with standardization of design practices and templates
• Support design manager with technical reviews and mentoring junior staff
• Ensure alignment with ASHRAE concepts and project‑specific standards

• Experience in Building Automation Systems design
• Working knowledge of Niagara AX and/or Niagara N4
• Proficiency in AutoCAD; MS Visio experience strongly preferred
• Familiarity with ASHRAE principles as applied to controls design
• Experience supporting large, complex facilities strongly preferred
• Ability to interpret mechanical plans and sequences without hand‑holding
• Strong attention to detail and documentation quality

• Someone who understands how designs actually get built
• Someone who asks “will this work in the field?” before issuing drawings
• Someone comfortable owning their designs, not just drafting them
• Experience preferred — training is available, babysitting is not
