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.
