About the Opportunity
Our Client is an established technology and systems integration organization supporting commercial, institutional, industrial, mission-critical, and enterprise environments.
Our Client is seeking an experienced Graphics Specialist – Building Automation / EBO to support a complex Building Automation System modernization and migration program.
The role will be responsible for developing and maintaining graphics standards, reusable templates, graphical conventions, navigation principles, and visual consistency across the EBO environment.
The Graphics Specialist will review existing EMRS graphics, define the target EBO graphics approach, identify opportunities for standardization and reuse, and provide technical review and direction for complex or unique graphical requirements.
The successful candidate should combine strong BAS knowledge with hands-on experience developing operator graphics, templates, navigation structures, equipment displays, alarms, trends, and user-facing visualization within EcoStruxure Building Operation or comparable BAS platforms.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and maintain graphical standards for the EBO environment.
- Define reusable graphics templates, equipment templates, page layouts, navigation structures, symbols, objects, and graphical conventions.
- Establish consistent approaches for representing equipment, systems, alarms, status, commands, trends, setpoints, and other operator information.
- Review existing EMRS graphics and assess their suitability for migration, reuse, redesign, or replacement.
- Define the target graphical approach for migrated EBO systems.
- Support the conversion and migration of existing BAS graphics into standardized EBO graphics.
- Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, or improve existing graphics while preserving required system functionality and operational information.
- Develop reusable templates for common equipment and system types.
- Maintain consistency across buildings, systems, Edge Servers, and migration phases.
- Review graphics created by other engineers, integrators, or specialists for compliance with approved project standards.
- Provide technical review of complex, unusual, or project-specific graphical requirements.
- Resolve graphical configuration issues affecting display, navigation, data binding, commands, alarms, trends, or operator interaction.
- Configure and validate graphics bindings to BAS points, objects, alarms, trends, commands, schedules, and other system data.
- Confirm graphics accurately reflect system status and field operation.
- Validate graphical data following migration or system changes.
- Work with BAS Specialists and Systems Integrators to resolve incorrect point mapping, naming, object references, or data relationships.
- Support development of consistent navigation between buildings, systems, equipment, and system hierarchy.
- Ensure graphics follow approved naming, labeling, terminology, and engineering conventions.
- Support configuration of user-facing dashboards, equipment views, floor plans, system diagrams, and operational displays where required.
- Review graphical presentation of alarms, trends, overrides, faults, equipment status, and other critical operating information.
- Support development of graphics appropriate for different users, operational needs, or system responsibilities where required.
- Ensure reusable graphics and templates are structured to support efficient implementation and future maintenance.
- Participate in migration planning to identify graphical dependencies and requirements before system cutover.
- Perform pre- and post-migration graphical validation.
- Support commissioning and functional verification of operator graphics.
- Identify graphical deficiencies and coordinate corrective actions through resolution.
- Work closely with the Solution Architect / Lead EBO Engineer, Senior Systems Integrators, BAS Specialists, Controls Specialists, commissioning personnel, and project teams.
- Maintain graphics standards, template documentation, configuration records, issue logs, and related technical documentation.
- Support development of as-built graphical documentation and final system records.
- Provide guidance to other team members responsible for graphics development or migration.
- Follow applicable project, technical, engineering, quality, and safety standards.

- Experience binding or mapping graphics to live BAS data.
- Ability to interpret controls drawings, sequences of operation, points lists, equipment information, and technical documentation.
- Understanding of HVAC and building-control systems sufficient to accurately represent system operation.
- Experience reviewing existing graphics and determining what should be reused, standardized, modified, or rebuilt.
- Strong understanding of graphical consistency, hierarchy, navigation, and operator usability.
- Ability to troubleshoot graphics-related configuration and data-mapping issues.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain standards across large numbers of graphics and systems.
- Ability to work with established engineering, naming, and graphical standards.
- Strong documentation and organizational skills.
