Primary Responsibilities

• Serve as a subject matter expert for BMS architecture, design principles, and system performance across data center environments.
• Perform detailed reviews of BMS designs to ensure compliance with internal standards, industry best practices, and operational requirements.
• Lead the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of BMS engineering standards, including: points lists, control sequences, graphics standards, trending, alarming, and data quality requirements.
• Provide deep technical analysis to support system optimization, reliability improvement, and operational failure investigations.
• Perform engineering evaluations and studies to support both project and operational needs, including trending analysis, root cause investigations, and specialized analyses such as TES (Thermal Energy Storage) system performance.
• Act as a technical interface with BMS vendors and system integrators to communicate standards, resolve complex issues, and drive continuous improvement.
• Provide expert-level technical support during BMS commissioning activities when escalated, assisting with troubleshooting, functional verification, and issue resolution.
• Support operational teams by analyzing BMS data, trends, and system behavior to diagnose issues and recommend corrective actions.
• Review and provide guidance on BMS-related RFIs, submittals, and technical inquiries as needed.
• Participate in post-incident and failure reviews to identify systemic improvements to BMS design, configuration, or standards.
• Develop and maintain clear, accurate, and technically rigorous documentation aligned with company policies and procedures.
• Author and update technical documents including: engineering standards and design guidelines, control narratives and system descriptions, commissioning requirements, operational procedures and playbooks, as-built documentation expectations.
• Translate complex technical concepts into well-structured written guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Act as a technical advisor and escalation resource for Platform Delivery teams, including Construction, Design, Procurement, and Commissioning.
• Engage with Platform Delivery on an as-needed basis, providing guidance when technical challenges, design deviations, or system performance concerns arise.
• Provide technical input on closeout documentation expectations and BMS deliverable quality, without direct ownership of daily project execution or reporting.
• Evaluate Commissioning (Cx) and Quality Control (QCx) approaches related to BMS when requested.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience working with Building Management Systems in data center, industrial, or mission-critical environments.
• Strong expertise in BMS system design, controls sequences, points lists, graphics, and trending strategies.
• Demonstrated experience supporting commissioning and operational troubleshooting in complex facilities.
• Strong technical writing skills, with a proven ability to produce engineering standards, procedures, and technical documentation.
• Ability to operate independently as a senior technical authority without direct managerial responsibility.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence decisions through technical credibility.
• Analytical, detail-oriented mindset with a focus on quality, reliability, and continuous improvement.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% as required.

Position Summary

This role is ideal for a senior BMS professional who wants to contribute to technical standards, influence system quality, and act as a trusted escalation point, without being embedded in daily project delivery or people management.
