Building Automation Recruitment

Building automation recruitment focuses on sourcing professionals who design, program, commission, and manage building control systems such as HVAC controls, BAS platforms, energy management systems, and related infrastructure. These roles sit at the intersection of electrical engineering, controls programming, and facility operations, which means a generalist recruiter often lacks the vocabulary and network to evaluate candidates accurately.

Miller Resource Group specializes in industrial technology talent, giving the firm the technical context needed to assess qualifications, verify experience with specific platforms, and match candidates to the precise demands of each role.

In our experience, a focused search strategy yields faster hires with higher retention because candidates and teams share a common technical language and problem-solving approach.

Miller Resource Group recruits across a broad range of building automation positions, including controls engineers, BAS programmers, systems integrators, project managers, service technicians, and senior operational or executive leaders overseeing automation departments. Whether a company needs a hands-on technician or a director of building systems, the firm has the network and process to conduct a thorough search.

Yes. While Miller Resource Group has a strategic concentration in the industrial and manufacturing hubs of the Midwest, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, the firm serves clients nationally across the United States. The regional depth allows for a strong local network, but the firm’s search capabilities are not limited by geography and can be deployed wherever a client’s talent needs exist.

Miller Resource Group offers multiple engagement models to fit the structure of a given search. Options include Executive Search for senior and leadership-level positions, Retained Search for high-priority or confidential searches, and Contract Staffing for project-based or interim needs. The firm also provides Culture and Team Assessments as well as Salary Surveys and Benchmarking to support broader workforce planning decisions.

Miller Resource Group conducts comprehensive candidate evaluations that go beyond reviewing a resume. The process includes direct conversations with candidates to assess technical depth, familiarity with relevant platforms and protocols, project experience, and professional fit with the client’s team and culture. Where applicable, Culture and Team Assessments can be incorporated to provide additional insight for the hiring team.

Practitioners in this field often note that rigorous evaluation of hands-on experience and real-world project outcomes correlates strongly with successful deployments and reduced downtime after onboarding.
