About The Position

Midwest Applied Solutions is seeking a BAS Controls Systems Service Technician to help customers maintain and improve their building automation systems. The technician works with a team at existing customer sites, retrofit projects, and new construction sites to start up, commission, troubleshoot, repair, and improve systems.

As skills develop, the technician will take on more complex work and greater independence.

The role involves working at multiple customer sites, sometimes on the same day. Overtime, weekend work, or an on-call schedule may be needed, and occasional out-of-town travel may be required. The work may involve standing, walking, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling. The employee regularly lifts or moves up to 25 pounds and occasionally up to 75 pounds.

• Comfort using computers and learning new software and systems.
• Ability to use hand and power tools and work safely in the field.
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving history.
• Flexibility to work overtime, weekends, or an on-call schedule as needed.
• Ability to travel out of town occasionally as required.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in HVAC, electrical, mechanical, controls, or building automation.
• Familiarity with Niagara N4, Honeywell WEBs, or other control systems.
• Knowledge of BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus, or IP networks.
• Ability to read plans, submittal drawings, or wiring diagrams.
• Trade school training, military technical training, or relevant certifications.

Responsibilities

• Build positive relationships with customers and communicate clearly about work performed.
• Help diagnose system issues and make repairs, adjustments, or component replacements.
• Perform preventive maintenance and check that systems operate as intended.
• Assist with system checkout, startup, commissioning, and upgrades.
