Key job responsibilities Primary responsibilities include: track, document, communicate, and enhance global data center design standards with a focus on control, automation, and electrical power monitoring systems. This position is specifically for Building Management Systems (BMS) controls engineers. A solid background in BMS control systems is necessary. We review MEP design drawings, provide scopes of work for BMS integrators, answer RFIs from vendors, and provide trouble shooting support when necessary. Our work is focused on the design of data centers, but we do support other teams during the construction phase. Travel to site may be necessary to help resolve BMS related issues. Beyond construction projects, our team supports onboarding vendors of AHUs, EF, control panels, ect. For new or updated mechanical equipment our team reviews and approves vendor submittals and attends factory witness testing. The team's goal is to deliver consistent standards for data center controls systems, as well as overall mechanical and electrical design practices.
