Staff Controls Operator, Data Center Operations

Operate and optimize BMS, SCADA, and EPMS controls for gigawatt-scale AI data centers. Diagnose faults, tune sequences for PUE/reliability, write runbooks, and maintain live systems during construction and load ramps. 7+ years mission-critical controls experience required.

About the role

Role Scope

  • Run the building management and controls systems (BMS, SCADA, EPMS) that keep live gigawatt-scale data centers cooling and powered in real time.
  • Own real-time load and thermal control across sites coming online in pieces, keeping the live halls running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
  • Write the operating procedures, alarm response runbooks, and control sequences that become the standard for every site that follows.
  • Diagnose and resolve controls faults on the floor, from a misbehaving chiller sequence to a breaker mis-operation, before they touch a training run.
  • Tune control sequences and setpoints to hold PUE and reliability targets as load ramps and hardware generations change.

What We're Looking For

  • You've operated the controls for live mission-critical facilities, data center, industrial, or power, and kept them running through faults, ramps, and construction next door.
  • You know BMS, SCADA, and EPMS platforms deep enough to diagnose a bad sequence or a misconfigured point, not just read the alarm.
  • You've written operating procedures and alarm response runbooks that other operators actually run.
  • You've resolved a real controls fault under pressure, on a live floor, with load on the line.
  • You tune control sequences and setpoints and can explain the tradeoff between reliability, efficiency, and cost.
  • You catch the drifting sensor or the wrong setpoint before it becomes an outage.
  • Bonus: Hyperscale or colocation data center operations. Liquid cooling controls. Electrical power monitoring systems. Behind-the-meter generation. Building the controls standards for a new fleet.
