Our approach

Controls scope and system integration

Building automation work can connect HVAC controls, sensors, controllers, networks, and operator interfaces. We clarify whether the opening covers installation, programming, integration, graphics, or project delivery, and how the controls team works with mechanical contractors and building owners.

Our approach

Recruit technical and delivery leadership

We search for controls Project Managers, project engineers, estimators, programmers, commissioning specialists, and field supervisors. Outreach distinguishes hands-on controls experience from broader mechanical or electrical work when the opening requires specific platform, integration, or sequence-of-operations knowledge.

Our approach

Evaluate commissioning and handoff experience

We discuss how candidates have coordinated submittals, point-to-point checks, functional testing, issue resolution, documentation, and owner training. For field roles, we establish the expected balance of installation oversight, programming, troubleshooting, and customer communication.

Our approach

Direct outreach and travel expectations

We use direct outreach to connect with local controls candidates in the markets we cover, including local professionals open to 100% travel. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can be considered for full-time travel roles after the assignment and expectations are reviewed.
