Role Overview
The Automation Programmer plays a key role in developing control programs and offering technical assistance to design teams, installation crews, and junior programmers.

  • Verify design documents and programming logic to ensure alignment with system requirements and operational intent.
  • Perform quality reviews of design drawings to confirm accuracy and compliance.
  • Assist installation personnel with diagnosing and resolving technical issues in the field.
  • Work collaboratively with design and installation groups to keep projects on track and promptly resolve challenges.

Commissioning & Field Service

  • Commission building automation systems and confirm that programmed sequences operate according to design.
  • Use BAS tools to remotely monitor systems and troubleshoot mechanical or technical issues affecting building performance or comfort.
  • Participate in rotational on-call duties, providing after-hours support when required (evenings and weekends).

System Integration & Optimization

  • Support the integration of third-party devices and systems (e.g., BACnet, Tridium, OPC Server, VFDs, boilers, smart sensors).
  • Develop energy-conscious control strategies to improve system efficiency.
  • Design and implement improvements that enhance system reliability and operational performance.

Communication & Collaboration

  • Communicate clearly with clients, coworkers, and stakeholders regarding project progress, technical concerns, and recommended improvements.
  • Coordinate with contractors and consultants to quickly address project challenges.
  • Maintain regular customer follow-up for both project-related and service-related activities.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Post-secondary education in Electronics, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline, with 5+ years of hands-on experience programming, commissioning, and maintaining HVAC control systems.
  • Engineering Technologist or CET certification is an advantage.
  • Strong knowledge of control systems such as Honeywell, Reliable, Tridium Niagara, or Alerton.
  • Solid computer programming skills and a strong understanding of networking.
  • Excellent organizational abilities with a track record of meeting deadlines.
  • Skilled at diagnosing and solving system issues efficiently.
  • Team-oriented, eager to learn, and willing to share expertise with others.
  • Strong interest in coaching and mentoring team members.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication; additional language skills are beneficial.
  • Comfortable delivering presentations and training end-users on system operation.
