Control Systems / BMS Engineer Location: Chicago, IL (or Richmond, VA)

Compensation: $125k–$130k Base | $145k–$170k OTE (15%–25% Annual Bonus)

We are seeking a Mid-Level Control Systems Engineer (3–7 years experience) to lead BMS design across high-profile, mission-critical portfolios—including Data Centers, Healthcare, Life Sciences, and High-Tech Facilities.

Work Monday through Thursday in-office and enjoy a short remote Friday—start every weekend early.

Write the BMS drawings, specifications, points lists, and sequences of operations (SOOs) from scratch rather than executing someone else's plan.

100% Bonus Track Record: Up to 25% annual performance bonus that has been paid out every single year, plus annual cost-of-living (COLA) adjustments.

Clear PE Track: Active mentorship, training backing, and direct financial incentives to help you secure your PE license.

Elite Portfolio: Join a legacy firm ranked #1 in data center and mission-critical engineering design.

Design complete Building Management System (BMS) architectures, DDC riser diagrams, and control panel layouts. Author detailed Sequences of Operation (SOO), points lists, valve/damper schedules, and MasterFormat specifications (Division 25/23). Coordinate controls design hand-in-hand with internal mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering teams. Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, and RFIs during the construction phase. Design robust IP-based controls network architectures and open-protocol integrations (BACnet, Modbus).

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electro-Mechanical, or Systems Engineering. Experience: 3–7 years working with HVAC controls, building automation, and DDC systems. Design Mindset: Proficiency in reviewing/authoring mechanical drawings, specs, and control sequences (MEP consulting background highly valued over pure field/contractor execution).
