Top Interview Questions to Ask a DDC/BAS Controls Technician

Use these prompts to assess field readiness, controls logic, troubleshooting process, and customer-facing judgment.

How do you approach troubleshooting a BAS controller that is online but not responding correctly?

Look for a structured process covering network communication, power, addressing, device status, sequence logic, and field device validation.

What BAS or DDC platforms have you supported in the field?

Strong candidates can describe hands-on experience with specific platforms, protocols, commissioning tools, and common service scenarios.

How do you verify that sensors, actuators, and dampers are working as expected?

Listen for point-to-point checkout, calibration, manual overrides, trend review, and coordination with mechanical or electrical teams.

Can you explain a time you solved a comfort complaint or energy performance issue?

A good answer connects customer symptoms to root cause analysis, sequence adjustments, documentation, and follow-up validation.

How comfortable are you reading wiring diagrams, control drawings, and mechanical plans?

Field-ready technicians should be able to interpret drawings, trace wiring, validate terminations, and identify documentation gaps.

How do you document work completed during a service call or commissioning visit?

Look for clear notes, deficiency tracking, customer communication, screenshots or trend captures, and handoff documentation.
