Pay:
$100,000 to $135,000 base, plus an $1,800 per month cost of living allowance This suits a controls technician who wants to be in the middle of the data center corridor rather than driving past it, and who would rather install and commission than close service tickets. The work is installing controllers and panels, terminating field devices, running point-to-point checkout, calibrating, and coordinating with the general contractor and the mechanical subs to keep the controls scope on program. What you will do BAS installation, commissioning and service across Northern Virginia sites. Comfortable terminating and troubleshooting to component level. Low voltage panel construction and cable termination (RS-232, RS-485, CAT 5/6). Software and hardware calibration across the control system. Troubleshooting live systems in a mission-critical environment where downtime carries real cost.
Working across open protocols:
BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU. Interpreting schematics and technical drawings. What you will need 4+ years hands-on controls field experience. Tech II is a mid-senior, independent level. Comfortable terminating and troubleshooting to component level. Electrical competence in a 120 to 480V environment. Authorized to work in the US and a valid driver's license with a clean record. Genuinely willing to travel 75% and be on site in the rest of the time. Genuine commissioning and startup experience. What is on offer Sponsored Ignition certification A controls profit-share bonus targeting 10 to 15% that has exceeded target in recent years Medical, dental and vision cover 401(k) with company match Paid time off, parental leave and disability cover Tuition reimbursement This suits someone who is happiest with a set of drawings and a live site, who documents their work properly, and who stays calm when a startup goes sideways at 10pm. It suits someone who treats platforms as tools rather than identity, because the stack here is changing. On site in the Ashburn and Northern Virginia area rather than hybrid, covering Sterling, Herndon, Reston, Chantilly, Centreville, Manassas, Leesburg, Fairfax, Arlington, Washington DC, Loudoun and Prince William counties, and Frederick MD. Travel willingness of around 75% is required. If this sounds like you, apply today. Even if your Resume is not fully up to date, we would still like to hear from you.
