MCI emphasizes trained craftspeople, customer satisfaction and long-term technical development.

Role Summary

MCI is seeking a Building Automation / HVAC Controls Technician who understands both HVAC equipment and the controls systems operating it. The ideal candidate can contribute to installation, programming, commissioning and troubleshooting of BAS systems; candidates experienced with another controls platform can be considered if they have strong fundamentals and the ability to learn Siemens.

Key Responsibilities

  • Commission building-automation systems.
  • Troubleshoot sensors, actuators, controllers and integrations.
  • Diagnose both HVAC/mechanical and controls-related problems.
  • Read mechanical drawings, schematics and controls documentation.
  • Support panel and network setup.
  • Verify system operation against intended sequences.
  • Document programming and field changes accurately.
  • Coordinate with HVAC service technicians, electricians and project teams.
  • Communicate system findings clearly to customers.
  • Continue technical development on MCI's Siemens platform.

Required Qualifications

  • HVAC systems knowledge and strong mechanical fundamentals.
  • Electrical troubleshooting ability.
  • Computer aptitude and comfort working with software-based systems.
  • Ability to interpret schematics, sequences and plans.
  • Systematic troubleshooting mindset.
  • Strong documentation and communication habits.
  • Valid driver's license and acceptable driving eligibility.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Existing BAS/building-controls experience.
  • Siemens controls experience.
  • Programming and commissioning experience.
  • Experience with Johnson Controls or another major BAS platform.
  • Networking/integration knowledge.
  • Commercial HVAC service background.

Success Metrics

  • Independently completes increasingly complex controls assignments.
  • Programs and commissions systems accurately.
  • Diagnoses controls problems without overlooking underlying HVAC issues.
  • Produces clear, reliable documentation.
  • Reduces dependence on the Service Manager for routine BAS work.
  • Develops toward a lead-level controls resource.

Why Join

  • Opportunity to work on and develop deeper expertise in Siemens Building Automation.
  • Direct path toward higher-level controls responsibility.
  • Company-paid technical training and continuing education.
  • Take-home company vehicle plus company technology.
  • PTO credit for applicable prior experience.
  • Broad commercial mechanical environment rather than controls work in isolation.
  • Established company with visible career-development opportunities.
