• Document field changes and support the creation of accurate as-built drawings and final software packages.

• Deliver hands-on training to owners/operators, empowering them to manage their building systems confidently.

• Participate in project release meetings, contributing technical insights and ensuring smooth handoffs.

• Apply value engineering principles to deliver cost-effective solutions without compromising quality.

• Mentor junior design assistants, sharing knowledge and elevating team performance.

• Champion safety standards, prioritizing the well-being of employees and subcontractors.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in HVAC or building automation systems

• Strong understanding of control theory, automatic temperature controls, and building subsystems

• Proven experience integrating low-voltage systems using protocols like BACnet, LON, or Modbus

• Ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
