This role is critical in maintaining installation standards, protecting system integrity, and ensuring project schedules are met without compromising quality.
The Controls Installation QA/QC (Coordinator/Inspector/Supervisor) will be responsible for verifying that all BAS/controls installations—including conduit, wiring, devices, controllers, and network infrastructure—are installed in accordance with design documents, specifications, and industry best practices. This individual will serve as the field-level quality authority representing the system integration team, working closely with our mechanical team, controls contractors, electrical contractors, commissioners, and project management.
Key Responsibilities
Installation Quality Assurance & Field Verification
Perform daily field inspections of building automation installation work across active construction projects.
Verify the correct installation of:
Control conduit pathways and support methods
Low-voltage and communication wiring practices (routing, labeling, termination, shielding, grounding)
Field devices (sensors, actuators, valves, dampers, flow switches, etc.)
Control panels, controllers, and network hardware
Ensure installations comply with:
Project specifications and control sequences
Approved submittals and shop drawings
Applicable electrical codes and industry standards
Identify installation deficiencies early and provide clear corrective direction to subcontractors.
Network Infrastructure & Systems Readiness
Validate BAS network architecture readiness, including:
IP network backbone and field-level communication networks
BACnet/IP, MS/TP, and other protocol integrity
Device addressing, termination, and segmentation
Confirm proper installation of network switches, routers, and communication trunks supporting BAS integration.
Coordinate with IT, electrical, and mechanical teams to ensure system connectivity is complete and functional prior to commissioning
Schedule & Construction Coordination
Actively monitor installation progress against project schedules and milestones.
Identify risks to schedule due to incomplete or improper installation.
Work with subcontractors to streamline installation sequencing and eliminate rework.
Participate in coordination meetings with general contractors, electrical contractors, and BAS subcontractors.
Drive accountability for installation productivity without compromising quality.
Technical Documentation & Field Communication
Read, interpret, and enforce compliance with:
Mechanical, electrical, and controls construction drawings
Control diagrams, riser diagrams, and network architecture drawings
Identify conflicts, design gaps, or constructability issues and develop clear documentation for resolution.
Prepare and submit:
RFIs (Requests for Information) to resolve design ambiguities or conflicts
ASIs (Architect’s Supplemental Instructions) tracking and implementation coordination
Maintain detailed field reports documenting progress, deficiencies, and corrective actions.
Deficiency Tracking & Quality Control Process
Establish and maintain a structured deficiency tracking system.
Categorize issues by severity (safety, functional, schedule impact, compliance).
Ensure timely closure of punch list items related to BAS/controls installation.
Verify corrective work is completed properly before acceptance
Coordination & Contractor Management
Maintain strong working relationships with BAS subcontractors, electrical contractors, and commissioning agents.
Provide firm but collaborative field leadership to enforce installation standards.
Support a solution-driven environment focused on system performance and integration success.
Adapt to dynamic jobsite conditions while maintaining quality expectations.
Required Qualifications
Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in BAS/controls installation, field execution, or related commissioning/QA/QC role.
Strong understanding of HVAC systems, BAS architecture, and control system integration.
Ability to read and interpret:
Construction drawings (mechanical, electrical, controls)
Control schematics and sequences of operation
Network risers and panel layouts
Proven field experience with low-voltage wiring, control devices, and BAS network infrastructure.
Working knowledge of communication protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, and IP-based BAS systems.
Experience identifying installation deficiencies and driving corrective actions in a construction environment.
Demonstrated ability to create and manage RFIs and ASIs.
Core Competencies
Strong attention to detail with a quality-first mindset
Excellent communication and field coordination skills
Ability to manage multiple active job sites and competing priorities
Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills in fast-paced construction environments
Highly motivated, self-directed, and accountable
Flexible and collaborative approach when working with multiple contractors and stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with enterprise BAS platforms and integration environments
Familiarity with commissioning processes and functional testing workflows
OSHA certification or strong construction safety awareness
Experience working in large commercial, healthcare, or mission-critical facilities.
Success in This Role Looks Like
BAS installations consistently meet design intent with minimal rework
Reduced installation errors and improved first-pass inspection success
Improved coordination between trades, leading to smoother project execution
Controls systems are fully ready for commissioning without delays caused by installation deficiencies
Construction schedules are protected through proactive field oversight
There is no visa sponsorship available for this position.
