Why we read it this way (8)
The pay range is listed as '$110,000–$150,000/hr', which almost certainly contains a typo in the posting — the figures are likely annual salary or a much lower hourly rate. The numbers have been captured exactly as stated.
SOC classification is uncertain: this role sits at the intersection of controls/building automation engineering and electrical power systems engineering, neither of which maps cleanly to a standard computer-occupation SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit for a systems integration/controls engineer; 15-1244 is noted as a runner-up given the infrastructure operations and monitoring emphasis.
The posting is listed as 'Contract to Hire' through Actalent (a staffing firm), with Atlanta, GA given as the base location, though the role is fully remote with travel to Michigan City, Indiana.
'Power quality analysis', 'HVAC controls', 'chilled water systems', and 'data center electrical distribution' are domain knowledge requirements rather than named tools; they are captured as skills only where the posting uses them as concrete named competencies in the Essential Skills section.
Schneider PME is listed under 'Additional Skills & Qualifications' (the preferred/nice-to-have section) alongside Google EPMS standards familiarity.
AutoCAD and Bluebeam are listed as interchangeable alternatives throughout the posting; emitted as a single skill with Bluebeam as the alternative.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): BAS/BMS controls design, EPMS engineering, power quality analysis.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
