Job description

Position Summary The BMS Engineer is responsible for the design and execution of temperature control and automation systems, including PLC- and SCADA-based solutions. This role collaborates closely with other engineering disciplines to develop complete and coordinated design packages, ensuring alignment across electrical power, control panels, relay logic, wiring, PLC hardware, I/O, and associated control devices. Systems supported include HVAC, access control, lighting, CCTV, and industrial automation applications. This position requires the application of sound engineering judgment, leadership, and practical experience to independently take ownership of assigned projects. The role may also support software engineering and industrial networking activities, including PLC programming, SCADA/HMI development, and industrial communications. Responsibilities • Develop system layouts and controls designs based on construction documents and project specifications. • Design PLC architectures, control panel layouts, power distribution, network topology, and I/O assignments. • Develop, modify, and troubleshoot PLC programs and SCADA/HMI applications for monitoring, control, alarming, and data acquisition. • Prepare engineering design submittals, as-built drawings, and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) documentation. • Obtain equipment cut sheets and coordinate the submittal process, including assembly of O&M packages. • Ensure all designs comply with contract drawings and specifications for accuracy, completeness, and constructability. • Select appropriate control devices and instrumentation in accordance with defined application and specification requirements. • Develop custom control and HMI graphics for integration into building automation systems and SCADA platforms. • Support system commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting activities in coordination with project teams. Qualifications Education & Experience • Two- or four-year degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline. • Experience designing control systems for commercial HVAC and/or industrial automation applications. • Hands-on experience with PLC hardware selection, configuration, and programming using ladder logic, function block, and/or structured text. • Experience developing and configuring SCADA/HMI systems, including alarms, trends, and operator interfaces. • Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, or similar. • Ability to read and interpret mechanical, electrical, and architectural construction documents. • Experience using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Skills & Competencies • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills. • Ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and work independently with minimal supervision. • High attention to detail and commitment to quality and accuracy. • Effective written and verbal communication skills. • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines. • Demonstrated work ethic and commitment to company values and high standards of conduct. Technical Skills • Microsoft Office • Microsoft Visio • AutoCAD • PLC programming platforms • SCADA/HMI development platforms Travel 60% Domestic travel is an essential requirement on this position.
