About The Position

Ehvert Mission Critical, a business unit within Salas O’Brien, is seeking an experienced Controls and Automation Design Engineer for a long-term independent contractor basis. This is an ongoing contractual engagement with a US-based company and is not limited to a single project. The role involves continuous collaboration across multiple mission-critical projects, based on business needs. You will provide services as an independent, self-employed professional under a formal independent contractor agreement. As a Controls Designer, you will support the design and documentation of control systems for mission-critical projects, including large-scale data centers. This role is focused on developing high-quality design deliverables in close coordination with controls engineers and multidisciplinary teams. There is a strong emphasis on Revit-based design, as well as supporting broader low-voltage systems, including fire alarm, where applicable. This position is well-suited for someone with a solid technical foundation who can contribute to production work and help scale project delivery.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or related field is preferred (or equivalent practical experience).
3–6+ years of experience in controls design, building systems, or low-voltage systems.
Proficiency in Revit is strongly preferred; experience with AutoCAD required.
Basic understanding of BAS/BMS systems, DDC controls, and integration with HVAC systems.
Detail-oriented with strong organizational and coordination skills.
Able to work effectively in a team environment and support multiple projects simultaneously.
Good communication skills and ability to follow technical direction.

Nice To Haves

Exposure to fire alarm and/or other low-voltage systems (security, communications) is a plus.

Responsibilities

Develop and produce control system design drawings and documentation using Revit and AutoCAD.
Support the design of building automation and control systems for HVAC and related systems under the guidance of senior engineers.
Assist with layout, schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel designs for control systems.
Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, and other disciplines to ensure integrated and consistent design delivery.
Contribute to low-voltage system design efforts, including controls, fire alarm, and related systems as needed.
Update and maintain project documentation, ensuring accuracy and alignment with project standards.
Support design reviews by incorporating feedback and making necessary revisions.
Assist with preparation of submittals, as-built drawings, and commissioning documentation.
Follow internal QA/QC processes and applicable industry standards and codes.
