Senior Field DDC Engineer

About the role:

The Senior Field DDC Engineer is an experienced technical contributor responsible for leading the deployment, commissioning, troubleshooting, and optimization of Delta Controls DDC-based building automation systems for mission-critical data center environments. This role serves as the primary technical resource on complex DDC projects, providing guidance to Field DDC Engineers while remaining highly hands-on in GCL+ programming, enteliWEB deployment, system integration, and commissioning.

The Senior Field DDC Engineer independently leads complex DDC implementations, mentors junior engineers, supports continuous improvement initiatives, and partners with project teams to ensure successful project execution. While this role provides technical leadership, it does not carry direct people management responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities:

Advanced DDC Programming & Technical Execution

• Lead development, configuration, deployment, and commissioning of complex Delta Controls DDC systems for data center BMS and EPMS applications
• Program advanced GCL+ control logic including complex HVAC sequences, equipment staging, alarm handling, scheduling, trending, and system recovery
• Configure Delta Controls enteliWEB environments including graphics, navigation, dashboards, user roles, and system connectivity
• · Develop and maintain controller databases, I/O structures, device bindings, and network configurations
• Lead integration with PLCs, Ignition SCADA, Kepware, OPC UA, BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, and third-party systems
• Perform advanced troubleshooting of communications, data integrity, GCL+ logic, hardware, and performance issues
