Facilities engineering and building automation lifecycle management
Chinook Systems operates a legacy-heavy tech footprint—Maximo, Archibus, BACnet, MODBUS, Niagara, and SCADA dominate their stack—reflecting deep integration with aging building infrastructure and control systems across government and institutional facilities. Hiring is tilted toward senior engineers and managers (7 of 9 tracked roles), signaling pressure to upgrade systems, optimize automation, and navigate contract compliance—a pattern reinforced by their active projects in whole-building commissioning, BAS simulation, and reliability initiatives.
