About The Position

The Senior Field DDC Engineer is an experienced technical contributor responsible for leading the deployment, commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimization of Delta Controls DDC-based building automation systems for mission-critical data center environments. This role serves as the primary technical resource on complex DDC projects, providing guidance to Field DDC Engineers while remaining highly hands-on in GCL+ programming, enteliWEB deployment, system integration, and commissioning. The Senior Field DDC Engineer independently leads complex DDC implementations, mentors junior engineers, supports continuous improvement initiatives, and partners with project teams to ensure successful project execution. While this role provides technical leadership, it does not carry direct people management responsibilities.

Requirements

7+ years of hands-on DDC programming or building automation experience with strong Delta Controls focus
Expert knowledge of Delta Controls GCL+ programming, controller configuration, and enteliWEB deployment
Extensive experience commissioning BAS, BMS, and EPMS systems in field environments
Advanced knowledge of BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, and network configuration
Strong troubleshooting skills across DDC applications, networking, and system integrations
Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical projects without direct supervisory responsibility
Experience mentoring or coaching engineers
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Willingness to travel 50–60%, including extended site assignments
Valid driver's license; domestic and international travel as needed
OSHA 10 certification within the past two years (training provided if needed within first week)

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Automation, Controls, or related technical field
