Transform the everyday with us!
Our Systems Specialists help bring smart buildings to life through the installation, startup, commissioning, and optimization of advanced building automation systems (BAS). Working with HVAC controls, direct digital controls (DDC), building management systems (BMS), and networked building technologies, you'll support customers in creating safer, more efficient, and more sustainable facilities.
From hospitals and university campuses to industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and mission-critical data centers, our Systems Specialists work on technology that improves building performance, reduces energy consumption, and enhances occupant comfort.
At Siemens, you'll gain hands-on experience with industry-leading technologies while working alongside experienced professionals who support continuous learning, technical development, and long-term career growth.
A Day in the Life
One day you may be commissioning a new building automation system at a hospital. The next, you could be troubleshooting BACnet or network communication issues across a university campus, optimizing HVAC control sequences at a data center, supporting system integrations within an industrial facility, or training customers on newly installed smart building technologies.
No two projects are the same. You'll solve real-world challenges while helping customers maximize performance, sustainability, reliability, and energy efficiency.
You will make an impact by:
- Commissioning new Building Automation Systems (BAS), Direct Digital Controls (DDC), and HVAC control systems on customer construction sites while meeting project schedules and quality standards.
- Supporting smart building technologies by verifying system databases, programming, graphics, and sequences of operation.
- Collaborating with Lead Technicians and Team Leaders to plan and execute project startup and commissioning activities.
- Assisting with network configuration, backup procedures, and troubleshooting building automation networks including BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus, and IP-based communication systems.
- Supporting the setup and configuration of operator workstations, user interfaces, building management systems (BMS), and automation software platforms.
- Performing operational testing, verification, commissioning, and acceptance testing to ensure systems function according to design intent.
- Running analytical reports to evaluate system performance, identify issues, and support optimization efforts.
- Training customers on system operations, building automation functionality, and ongoing system best practices.
- Maintaining accurate documentation including commissioning records, service reports, and as-built control system documentation.
- Coordinating startup activities with project teams, subcontractors, and customers to support successful project execution.
- Supporting customer facilities that include hospitals, higher education campuses, commercial office buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing sites, and data centers.
- Working occasional overtime, rotational on-call schedules, and limited overnight travel as business needs require.
- Following all Siemens, customer, and OSHA safety standards while delivering exceptional customer service.
