Company Overview
Upchurch is a rapidly growing
, full-service building engineering company providing mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services across the southeastern United States.
Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Horn Lake, MS, Upchurch has grown through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions
, establishing a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and service excellence. We offer end-to-end solutions—from design and installation to ongoing maintenance and emergency support— helping clients maximize building performance, energy efficiency, and equipment lifespan.
Upchurch is a 50+ year building engineering firm delivering mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and controls services across the southeastern United States. Through our Data Center Mission Critical (DC|MC) business unit, Upchurch provides specialized operations and maintenance services focused on uptime, reliability, operational visibility, and lifecycle performance of data center infrastructure.
This role supports colocation, hyperscale, enterprise, and edge data centers by executing disciplined preventive, corrective, commissioning-support, and condition-based activities on mission-critical controls, BAS/BMS, EPMS, DCIM-adjacent, and integrated building automation systems.
Role Summary
The Controls – Mission Critical Services Technician is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, validating, and supporting controls systems that directly impact data center uptime, system visibility, alarming, sequencing, and operational reliability. This role works across BAS/BMS platforms, EPMS interfaces, control panels, sensors, actuators, networked controllers, graphics, alarm points, sequence-of-operation logic, and integration points between mechanical, electrical, and facility operations systems.
Unlike traditional controls service roles, this position operates in high-availability data center environments where procedural compliance, redundancy awareness, change control, documentation accuracy, and live-site discipline are mandatory. Controls technicians must understand that improper setpoint changes, failed sensors, communication loss, overridden points, or incorrect alarm logic can create significant operational risk.
Technicians perform scheduled preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, troubleshooting, point-to-point verification, alarm validation, controls readiness checks, commissioning support, and emergency response activities while adhering to approved
Methods of Procedure (MOPs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs), safety requirements, and change-management standards.
