• Participate in sales-to-operations turnover meetings to validate project accuracy and design intent.

• Conduct on-site walkthroughs as needed to refine project design.

• Design network architectures supporting operator workstations, DDC field panels, and third-party integrations (LON, Ethernet, Modbus, BACnet).

• Review plans, specifications, and codes to assess project requirements and risks.

• Generate DDC point databases and provide startup documentation for commissioning.

• Support engineering re-estimates and communicate scope updates to Project Managers.

• Prepare and issue RFIs when clarification is needed.

• Identify cost-saving opportunities and maintain complete, organized project documentation.

What You’ll Bring to the Table:

• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience with Delta and/or Reliable Controls design preferred.

•  2–5 years of engineering or systems design experience.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and AutoCAD.

• Strong understanding of building automation, mechanical systems, and design principles.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Independent problem-solving and decision-making abilities.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Professional Development: Access to training, workshops, and certifications to sharpen your skills and grow your career.

• Career Advancement: Clear pathways for growth within Fidelity Building Services Group’s network of companies.

• Generous PTO: Ample paid time off to rest, recharge, and spend time doing what you love.
