4-7 years
Technical & Integration MasteryWhile basic knowledge of networks is required, a top-tier candidate will possess:Protocol Conversion Expertise: Proficiency in troubleshooting gateways between BACnet, Modbus TCP, and SNMP (crucial for IT/UPS integration).Advanced Troubleshooting: Ability to use network diagnostic tools (like Wireshark) to identify communication bottlenecks in the control bus.System Specifics: Certification or advanced training in DeltaV or Rockwell Automation, as these are specifically mentioned as "pluses" for your more complex industrial/data center applications.Mission-Critical Operational FluencyData centers operate differently than standard commercial builds. Preferred candidates will have:Integrated Systems Testing (IST): Experience leading "Pull the Plug" tests (Level 5 Commissioning) where the facility is tested under total utility power failure.MOP/SOP Authoring: Ability to write and follow strict Methods of Procedure (MOPs) to ensure zero downtime when working on or near "live" critical loads.Redundancy Logic: Deep understanding of N+1 and 2N control logic to ensure backup systems (chillers, pumps, generators) kick in seamlessly.Miami-Specific & Regional ExpertiseWorking in the Miami market introduces unique variables:Extreme High-Efficiency Cooling: Experience managing controls for high-tonnage centrifugal chillers and Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems, which are common in Florida to manage peak power costs.Bilingual Proficiency: Professional fluency in Spanish is a significant asset in the Miami construction market for managing local subcontractors and field labor.Resiliency Awareness: Understanding of control system hardening against humidity and high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) requirements for outdoor sensors and panels.Leadership & Project GovernanceLean Construction / Pull Planning: Familiarity with "Last Planner" methodologies to keep aggressive data center schedules on track.Digital Field Management: Expert-level use of Procore, Bluebeam, or BIM 360 for real-time tracking of I/O checkout sheets and commissioning logs.Financial Literacy: Ability to assist the Project Manager in identifying Change Order opportunities by spotting "scope gap" between mechanical plans and control requirements.
Education: AS in HVAC, MET, EET (BS in Engineering preferred). Experience may substitute for degree.Experience: 5+ years as Site Foreman or Supervisor in controls installation, ideally in mission-critical environments or data centers.Hands-on experience with PLC, HMI, DDC systems; Wonderware, Rockwell, and DeltaV a plus.Knowledge of networks (Ethernet, Modbus, BACnet) and mechanical systems (chillers, air handlers, pumps).Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.Ability to lift 50 lbs and work near high electrical currents.Willingness to travel and/or relocate for medium to long-term assignments.Ability to obtain government security clearance (up to Secret level).
