- Support PLC and BMS configuration changes under supervision (point/parameter updates, basic logic edits, setpoints, alarm limits) following site change control and documentation practices.
- Troubleshoot industrial communications (EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Fieldbus, Modbus, BACnet), including basic network checks and coordination with IT/OT for connectivity issues.
- Execute commissioning and testing activities (loop checks, functional testing, SAT support), document results, and resolve punch-list items with integrators and operations.
- Maintain accurate documentation (as-builts, redlines, point lists, calibration/loop records) and follow safety and site procedures (LOTO, work permits).
