What this job asks for AI summary
A senior engineering role focused on leading building automation and controls projects from design through on-site commissioning. Day-to-day work spans instrumentation and electrical design, PLC/DDC/DCS configuration, HMI development, panel layout, and field startup, while also guiding a small team of engineers and supporting customer meetings and proposals. Suits someone with hands-on controls experience in industrial or HVAC environments and a background in platforms such as Rockwell, Aveva, or similar systems.

Advertised as Senior, but the requirements read as Mid.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

Why we read it this way (5)
SOC classification is genuinely ambiguous. The role centers on building automation / industrial controls engineering — configuring PLCs, DCS, HMI, and DDC systems — which sits between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other, covering controls/automation engineers) and 15-1252 (Software Developers, given the software configuration, scripting, and system design work). 15-1299 was chosen as the primary code; confidence is Low.
The controls platform requirement is structured as 'at least one of the following' across four named platforms (Rockwell Studio 5000/FactoryTalk, Aveva System Platform, Inductive Ignition Perspective, Distech). Because only one is required, the primary skill entry captures this mutual-exclusivity; the individual platform entries are marked preferred to reflect that no single one is a hard gate on its own.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelors Degree in a technical field or related Technical Degree' with no explicit 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
The title 'Lead Controls Systems Engineer' implies a senior/lead framing (advertised as Senior), but the minimum experience gate is only 3+ years, which aligns more with a Mid-level engineer on a standard career ladder.
Johnson Controls Facility Explorer and Metasys, Tridium Niagara N4, SQL, scripting languages, Kepware, ThinManager, and VMware are all listed under 'Other useful technologies' or explicitly called 'preferred' — none are hard gates.
