Full Job Description


Role Overview

As an HVAC Controls Systems Designer, you will support the design, programming, commissioning, and documentation of HVAC control systems. Working under direct supervision and established standards, you will help ensure each project meets the intent of the customer’s requirements and is clearly communicated to internal teams, customers, consultants, and subcontractors.


Key Responsibilities
  • Select hardware designs from the standard design library for flow diagrams, sequences of operation, bills of material, network layouts, and electrical schematics.

  • Perform software programming using established standards as the basis of design.

  • Coordinate the creation of drawings and equipment schedules for submittals and installation.

  • Select, order, and track materials for assigned projects and coordinate factory-mounting processes to align with project schedules.

  • Assist with loading and commissioning system and network-level controllers, validate overall system functionality, and troubleshoot issues with subcontractors and other trades.

  • Gather field changes and create as-built drawings and software; prepare documentation and manuals for system operation.

  • Keep management and the customer informed of job progress, issues, and next steps.

  • Support site-specific training for owner/operators on the total system.

  • Complete time sheets, expense reports, and on-site documentation accurately and on time.

  • Adhere to safety standards with a high degree of regard for employee and subcontractor safety.


How You Will Do It
  • Use established standards and the standard design library to build consistent, practical control solutions that align with project requirements.

  • Stay close to the work and communicate early by coordinating with customers, consultants, the field installation team, and subcontractors when questions or changes arise.

  • Own your documentation and follow-through so submittals, schedules, as-builts, software changes, and manuals remain accurate through turnover.

  • Approach commissioning with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset to validate functionality, resolve issues, and help bring each system into reliable operation.

  • Work safely, honestly, and as one team by sharing progress clearly, supporting others across trades, and keeping employee and subcontractor safety front and center.

  • Look for continuous improvement in everyday work by capturing field feedback, applying lessons learned, and making each project more efficient and effective.


Qualifications
  • Minimum of three years of experience with installing and/or commissioning controls systems, including system-level controllers.

  • Working knowledge and experience using Microsoft Office.

  • Demonstrated knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and control systems.

  • Demonstrated technical aptitude.

  • Demonstrated advanced computer skills.


Nice to Have
  • Associate or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science, or 5+ years in the HVAC field.

  • Experience designing or evaluating mechanical/electrical building systems or control systems.


Why Join Us

You will join a team that combines strong technical standards with practical field execution. This role includes a competitive benefits package, and the posted hourly range is $32.07-$48.13, with final compensation determined by education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, internal equity, and market data. Johnson Controls also recognizes that exceptional candidates may bring unique experience beyond the typical profile.
