Experienced BMS technician looking for your next move? Or an HVAC technician or electrician who's technically minded, interested in IT and IoT, and ready to take your trade into building automation? Full training provided.
Building automation is where trade skills meet technology. Buildings are getting smarter, and skilled controls technicians are among the most in-demand people in the industry. If you want a career that builds on your trade and adds programming, networking, and systems integration — this is it.
Synchronous Building Automation (SyncBA) is a specialist building automation company with offices in Sydney, the ACT, and Victoria, working across commercial, health, education, and industrial facilities.
We're a close-knit team that backs its people — and we're growing.
What you'll be doing
A Building Management System (BMS) is the brain of a building — the controllers and software running the air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, metering, and more. You'll work across the full life of these systems:
Installing and configuring controllers, sensors, and field devices
Programming control logic and developing system graphics
Setting up and troubleshooting networks and protocols (BACnet, Modbus, IP)
Commissioning — testing, calibrating, and fine-tuning to design intent
Integrating BMS with HVAC plant, lighting, metering, and security systems
Fault-finding across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
Working with clients, builders, and mechanical contractors on live sites
Training end-users and providing ongoing service and support
One day you're terminating field wiring in a plant room; the next you're programming a controller or chasing a network fault. You'll build skills few people in the industry hold.

A proven track record installing, programming, commissioning, and servicing BMS

A trade qualification in refrigeration/air conditioning or electrical (e.g. Cert III) and strong electrical fundamentals
A genuine interest in IT, networking, IoT, or smart building technology

Willingness to join an on-call roster (with allowances and overtime)
