Divcon Controls is seeking an Applications Engineer/BAS Programmer to design and deploy building automation systems for commercial, industrial, and mission-critical facilities. This remote role focuses on translating mechanical and electrical design intent into robust control logic using DDC, PLC, and BAS programming tools, with hands-on involvement in configuration, testing, and deployment across projects.
Responsibilities
- Develop and program DDC controllers, including logic, sequences, alarms, schedules, and trends.
- Build and configure controller databases, graphics, navigation, and user interfaces.
- Implement integration using BACnet, Modbus, and other open protocols.
- Configure and test network settings, IP addressing, routing, and device bindings.
- Create and update programming libraries, templates, and standards.
- Support field technicians during startup, commissioning, point-to-point testing, and functional testing.
- Troubleshoot communication issues, device failures, programming errors, and performance gaps.
- Perform on-site adjustments to optimize HVAC and mechanical system performance.
- Validate I/O lists, mechanical schedules, control drawings, and sequences of operation.
- Maintain organized project files including backups, version control, release notes, and as-built documentation.
- Participate in internal design and code reviews, contributing to programming best practices.
- Coordinate with engineers, PMs, and installers to clarify design intent and execution requirements.
- Implement third-party integrations (meters, lighting, power monitors, VFDs, chillers, boilers, AHUs, RTUs, etc.).
- Develop and modify system graphics that reflect the mechanical system accurately.
- Support complex system architectures including EPMS, SCADA, PLC-based subsystems, and networked BAS deployments.
Requirements
- Experience programming building automation systems (Delta Controls, Tridium Niagara, Johnson Controls FX, Siemens, Schneider, Honeywell, Automated Logic, Distech, etc.).
- Strong understanding of HVAC systems: AHUs, VAVs, chillers, boilers, RTUs, pumps, cooling towers.
- Working knowledge of BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU/TCP, device addressing, and network configuration.
- Ability to interpret MEP drawings, wiring diagrams, and sequences of operation.
- Proficiency with BAS programming tools, configuration utilities, and software loaders.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in live controls environments.
