Job Description

Job Description In this role, you will focus on the maintenance and ongoing updates of standardized process controls packages supporting large‑scale cooling plant and mechanical utility systems. This is not a traditional Building Management System (BMS/BAS) role; instead, the work centers on process controls, including monitoring and controlling temperature, pressure, flow, and sequencing across utility‑driven systems. Day to day, you will develop and maintain reusable controls artifacts such as sequences of operation, process flow logic, I/O lists, PLC code, HMI graphics, alarms, historian configurations, configuration files, and supporting documentation. You will support software functional acceptance testing (sFAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT), with a strong emphasis on testing systems against defined design specifications, traceability, and validation—similar to approaches used in regulated industrial environments. This role supports centralized cooling plants and mechanical utility infrastructure, including modular platforms deployed across multiple regions. The position is product‑ and package‑focused, not site‑specific, and contributes to reusable programming standards, templates, and centralized controls repositories used across U.S. and international deployments. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.
