The Controls Technician (CT) would spend most of their traveling time in the field completing audits for the engineering team. The CT would receive audit packets from a controls project engineer and would travel to site, complete the audit, and interface and communicate with the engineering team as needed. The CT would also assist in the early portions of installation, working with the installation leads to review the existing control infrastructure and help plan an efficient demolition and start to installation. A good candidate for this role would be an experienced PreComm Technician that might be interested in working more closely to the engineering and design side of projects.
