HVAC Controls Analyst III

ENFRA LLC•Tucson, AZ

10d•$88,380 - $117,970

About The Position

This role is a technical resource for Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) projects, focused on HVAC system optimization, operational performance, and verification of energy savings. Projects are typically complex, multi-building or multi-campus portfolios in higher education and healthcare environments, with substantial mechanical infrastructure and integrated control strategies. The position works with engineering and commissioning teams to evaluate building automation system (BAS) architecture, troubleshoot system performance, and deploy advanced HVAC sequences of operation for air and hydronic systems. Work includes site assessments, trend-data analysis, developing and modifying direct digital control (DDC) logic, validating sequence implementation, functional testing, and ongoing optimization. The successful candidate brings advanced knowledge of HVAC systems, BAS platforms, networked controls, and energy conservation measures, with an emphasis on high-performance building operations. The role translates engineering intent into effective control logic, leads complex troubleshooting, and implements programming approaches that support repeatable energy savings. It requires analytical and problem-solving ability, experience with retro-commissioning and HVAC optimization, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to improve operational performance.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, or a related field, or four years of experience in lieu of a degree.
At least five years of experience in HVAC controls, design, energy management, or another relevant field.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Strong scope management and scheduling skills.
Ability to interact professionally with owners, owner’s representatives, contractors, engineers, and architects while effectively driving project outcomes.
Strong knowledge of commercial MEP equipment design and operations.
Strong understanding of DDC controls.
Familiarity with building automation systems software.
Ability to travel 30%–40% of the time to job sites or office locations.

Nice To Haves

Commissioning certification from ACG, BCxA, or ASHRAE.
Registered Engineering Intern (EI) certification or Professional Engineer (PE) licensure.
Certified Energy Manager (CEM) certification.
Proficiency with Bluebeam Studio and Revu software.
Strong technical background in developing, reviewing, and refining HVAC sequences of operation, with direct experience implementing control logic across platforms such as Siemens, JCI, Niagara, Schneider Electric, Alerton, ALC, and Honeywell.

Responsibilities

Develop and implement energy conservation measures, including room ventilation schedules aligned with ASHRAE guidelines, with the project delivery team.
Lead surveys, documentation reviews, and due diligence to determine facility conditions and develop applicable energy conservation measures.
Participate in retro-commissioning and commissioning efforts on assigned projects.
Troubleshoot, optimize, and modify BAS programming to implement energy conservation measures within existing sequences.
Work directly with the project team to ensure high-quality, functional, and optimized systems are delivered.
Use test instrumentation to troubleshoot, verify, and optimize building system operation.
Maintain awareness of energy performance for assigned scopes throughout the project.
Collaborate with the project team to ensure performance targets are met and maintained.
Drive corrective actions when scope or performance gaps are identified.
Ensure issues are identified and communicated to the project team.
Assist with issue resolution by proposing solutions and tracking their implementation with the project team.
Proactively address and escalate constraints to achieving project outcomes and completing scope.
Apply a strong understanding of DDC controls and familiarity with building automation systems software.
