Field Technician – LED & LED Controls, AI Data Centers, remote

Field Technician – LED & LED Controls
Fully Remote (Dallas, TX preferred) | Full-time W-2

Role Overview

We are seeking a Field Technician focused exclusively on the commissioning, programming, and troubleshooting of lighting control systems. This is not a fixture installation role. You will work on large construction sites (frequently AI data centers), ensuring sensors, network backbone, zone programming, and control systems perform as designed.

The position is 100% remote-based with significant travel. Texas (Dallas area ideal) is strongly preferred due to a multi-year project workload in the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Commission, program, and troubleshoot lighting control systems on-site, including occupancy/daylight sensors, network backbone, zone programming, and system integration.
• Work primarily with NX Controls (preferred/primary platform); experience with Lutron, Crestron, Leviton, or Wattstopper is also valuable.
• Diagnose and resolve control, communication, and performance issues in coordination with electrical contractors and general contractors.
• Maintain clear, process-driven documentation of commissioning activities, as-builts, test results, and issue resolution.
• Communicate effectively with field crews, project managers, and the internal team.
• Represent the company professionally on active construction sites while holding technical ground without being high-handed.
• Support project closeout and handoff documentation.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience commissioning and programming commercial lighting control systems.
• Strong understanding of networked lighting controls, sensors, and zone-based programming.
• Ability to read and interpret control schematics, riser diagrams, and system layouts.
• Process-oriented mindset with excellent documentation habits.
• Clear verbal and written communication skills with both field and corporate stakeholders.
• Willingness and ability to travel 50–75% (domestic U.S. only), with heavy focus on Texas projects.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to work on active construction sites.

Preferred Qualifications

• Electrical background or formal electrical training/experience (strongly preferred—enables faster troubleshooting and more effective communication with contractors).
• Direct experience with NX Controls.
• Experience on large commercial or data center projects.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) is helpful but not required.

Location & Travel

• Preferred: Dallas / North Texas area.
• Fully remote candidates outside Texas will be considered.
• Travel: 50–75%, primarily domestic U.S., with significant multi-year workload in the Dallas region.

Compensation

$90,000 – $130,000 base W-2, depending on experience and qualifications. Competitive benefits package included.
