About the role

Lead BMS Controls Engineering

  • Lead BMS controls engineering for the building controls layer of the reference design across the fleet.
  • Own the controls standards: sequences, points lists, and network architecture written once, deployed everywhere.
  • Drive vendor strategy: platforms, integrators, and programming standards held to spec.
  • Grow the team and carry the hard sequences: plant optimization, failover, and demand response hooks.

Requirements

  • Led BMS or controls engineering for data centers or large plants.
  • Written sequences of operations that operators trust at 3am.
  • Standardized controls across a portfolio.
  • Hold integrators to points lists and functional tests.
  • Design for the data: telemetry and analytics as first-class outputs.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Tridium, ALC, or Siemens depth.
  • BACnet at scale.
  • Chilled water plant optimization.
  • Commissioning interface.
