Controls & Automation Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate BMS / SCADA / BAS with DCIM and operational platforms; develop graphics, point databases, alarm management, and trend logging
• Lead control-system commissioning and integration-readiness assessments — verifying point mapping accuracy, alarm setpoints, control logic behavior, and SCADA display correctness
• Design and validate automation sequences for chiller staging, power management, environmental control, and IT load response against defined scenarios before deployment
• Produce OR-gate technical evidence point verification logs, alarm test records, staging logic validation, control philosophy compliance
• Build and maintain REST API integrations between operational platforms (auth, transformation, error handling, retry) with monitoring and a current integration registry
• Govern OT security posture for control systems vulnerabilities, network segmentation, firmware currency
• Maintain as-built documentation for each active site; coordinate with the Enterprise SI Architect on integration design and the Systems Integration Service Management Engineer on Jira workflow triggers

Qualifications

• 10–14+ years in control systems, BMS/SCADA integration, or OT engineering in datacenter/critical infrastructure
• Deep BMS expertise — Siemens Desigo, Schneider EcoStruxure, Johnson Controls Metasys, Tridium Niagara — and SCADA familiarity (Ignition, Wonderware, or equivalent)
• Strong REST API integration and platform connectivity (Python, Node.js, or equivalent); experience with Sunbird, NetBox, ServiceNow, Palantir Foundry, or Attune
• Open-protocol fluency: BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks, OPC-UA, SNMP
• CAP, CCST, CDCE, or equivalent preferred

What Success Looks Like

• Ward County BMS/SCADA integration fully commissioned and verified before ingestion begins points mapped, alarms set, staging logic validated
• OR-gate evidence for all control-system gates complete, accurate, and on schedule
• Automation sequences for routine operational events live, tested, and documented before RFS
• Operational platform integrations live, monitored, and bidirectional — no manual data transfers
