Position Summary
We are seeking a highly experienced Controls Field Technician with strong managerial capabilities to support mission-critical operations involving HPM/GLSS matrices for hazardous materials (hazmat) operations and controls. The ideal candidate will serve as a technical leader in the field—bridging hands-on controls expertise, operational oversight, and matrix-driven compliance. This role requires someone who can confidently navigate complex HPM/GLSS matrices governing hazmat operations and controls systems, while also providing leadership to field teams. As a strong bonus, the candidate will be able to review, evaluate, and recommend improvements to the computer programming/code that implements the information contained in these matrices.
Key Responsibilities
• Serve as the primary field expert on controls systems related to hazmat operations, ensuring systems function safely, reliably, and in accordance with applicable HPM/GLSS matrices.
• Interpret, apply, and navigate HPM/GLSS matrices for hazmat operations and controls; translate matrix requirements into clear field procedures, work packages, and operational guidance.
• Lead and coordinate field controls activities, including troubleshooting, commissioning support, system validation, and ongoing operational readiness for critical infrastructure.
• Provide day-to-day managerial oversight of field technicians and trade partners involved in controls and hazmat-related scopes—assigning work, monitoring quality, enforcing safety protocols, and driving accountability.
• Collaborate with construction management, operations, engineering, and safety teams to resolve field issues quickly while maintaining compliance with matrix-driven requirements.
• Support commissioning, integrated systems testing, and turnover activities for controls systems tied to hazmat operations.
• Document field conditions, deviations, and recommendations; escalate matrix interpretation or implementation issues as needed.
• (Preferred / Bonus) Review existing computer programming/code that implements HPM/GLSS matrix information; evaluate logic, identify gaps or inefficiencies, and suggest practical changes or improvements to enhance reliability, usability, or compliance.
Required Qualifications
• Extensive hands-on experience as a Controls Field Technician (typically 8–12+ years) in industrial, mission-critical, data center, or process environments involving complex control systems.
• Proven ability to read, interpret, and operationalize technical matrices or structured compliance frameworks—specifically experience with (or strong aptitude for) HPM/GLSS-style matrices related to hazmat operations and controls.
• Demonstrated managerial or lead-level skills: ability to direct field crews, coordinate multi-trade work, enforce standards, and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong working knowledge of industrial controls systems (PLC, DCS, BMS/BAS, SCADA, or similar), instrumentation, and field commissioning practices.
• Solid understanding of hazardous materials operations, associated safety protocols, and the integration of controls systems that support hazmat handling, monitoring, or emergency response.
• Ability to work independently in the field while providing clear leadership and documentation.
• Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Preferred / Bonus Qualifications
• Direct experience reviewing, evaluating, or modifying computer programming/code (ladder logic, structured text, function block, or similar) that implements matrix-based logic or operational rules.
• Familiarity with data center, hyperscale, or mission-critical facility environments and the unique controls/hazmat interface requirements that arise in those settings.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., instrumentation & controls, hazmat operations/technician level, PLC programming, or equivalent).
• Prior experience supporting owner’s representative, program management, or construction management teams (HPM-style environments preferred).
