Assist with the installation of building automation systems using platforms such as Allen Bradley Studio 5000, RSLogix 5000, Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal), and other PLC environments.
Maintain accurate documentation for programming changes, system configurations, field updates, procedures, and assigned work activities.
Assist with preventive maintenance activities and regular system checks to help keep building systems operating reliably.
Assist with troubleshooting and resolving issues with PLCs, controllers, automation software, and integrated control systems under supervision.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support implementation of new automation strategies and help ensure systems are integrated and functioning efficiently.
Travel to job site locations as required; upwards of 75% travel is expected for this role.

Minimum Qualifications

Must be 18 years of age or older.

Ability to pass a background check and drug screen, as permitted by applicable law and company policy.
Ability to learn and use software, tools, and technical systems required for the role.
Ability to work in office, job site, industrial, and mechanical-room environments as required by assigned work.
Willingness to travel, learn quickly, follow instructions, work safely, and develop technical skills in a field-based and system-oriented environment.

Advancement and Employment Status

This is a developmental, time-bound position intended to evaluate and build readiness for a Controls Technician role. During the 11-week apprenticeship period, continued employment will be based on documented performance, conduct, safety, progression, attendance, professionalism, and business needs.
