Controls Electrician — Atlas Automation

Atlas Automation is growing, and we're looking for a skilled Controls Electrician ready to grow with us.

Our work takes us across Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Much of what we do happens in northern and remote communities where few contractors go, and that's exactly what sets this role apart. If you want a career that gets you out of the same job site every day and into places most electricians never see, this is it. Travel is a core part of the job, and we treat it as one of its best features.

This is more than tools and wire pulls. If you're looking to build a long-term career in building automation controls, we want to hear from you. You'll work closely with our leadership team, gain exposure to advanced systems, and develop the skills to lead your own team down the road.

We take pride in quality work, support our techs on-site, and stand behind the people who represent us.

- Installing and wiring BMS (Building Management Systems) + PLC systems and related low-voltage control equipment
- Reading and working from electrical drawings, specs, and work orders
- Performing commissioning, point-to-point checks, and system troubleshooting
- Supporting site work within the Construction/Operations team, including fly-in and extended-stay projects in remote locations
- Ensuring safe, high-quality installs that meet code
- Working with HVAC systems and digital control logic
- Collaborating with a crew that has your back

What We're Looking For

- Journeyman Electrician (Red Seal) with commercial experience




- Solid understanding of electrical theory and control wiring
- Comfortable with low-voltage and control systems
- Strong troubleshooting skills
- Valid driver's licence
- Clear communicator and detail-oriented
- Willing and able to travel, including multi-week rotations in northern communities
- Someone who takes pride in their work and wants to keep learning
- Bonus if you've worked with:
- HVAC controls, BAS/BMS, VFDs
- Honeywell WEBs, Niagara N4, or protocols like BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks
- PLC systems, or have any IT/programming background

What You'll Get

- Hourly wage between $40–$45, depending on experience
- Health and dental benefits
- Paid travel, with flights, accommodation, and meals covered on remote assignments
- Opportunities for training, certifications, and career advancement
- A team that supports each other in the field and on the backend

Additional Info

- Work is in-person, primarily commercial/construction sites, with regular travel across Western and Northern Canada
- Safety, quality, and team fit are our top priorities
- We're looking for someone who sees this as more than just a job

Apply If You

- Have hands-on BMS experience (mention it in your application!)
