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.
