BMS, Telemetry Engineer

Aligned Data Centers

About The Position

This role is ideal for a senior BMS professional who wants to contribute to technical standards, influence system quality, and act as a trusted escalation point, without being embedded in daily project delivery or people management. The primary responsibilities include BMS Engineering & Technical Ownership, serving as a subject matter expert for BMS architecture, design principles, and system performance across data center environments. This involves performing detailed reviews of BMS designs to ensure compliance with internal standards, industry best practices, and operational requirements. The role also leads the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of BMS engineering standards, including points lists, control sequences, graphics standards, and trending, alarming, and data quality requirements. Deep technical analysis is performed to support system optimization, reliability improvement, and operational failure investigations. Engineering evaluations and studies are conducted to support both project and operational needs, including trending analysis, root cause investigations, and specialized analyses such as TES (Thermal Energy Storage) system performance. The engineer acts as a technical interface with BMS vendors and system integrators to communicate standards, resolve complex issues, and drive continuous improvement. Additionally, the role provides expert-level technical support during BMS commissioning activities when escalated, assisting with troubleshooting, functional verification, and issue resolution. It supports operational teams by analyzing BMS data, trends, and system behavior to diagnose issues and recommend corrective actions. The role also involves reviewing and providing guidance on BMS-related RFIs, submittals, and technical inquiries, and participating in post-incident and failure reviews to identify systemic improvements to BMS design, configuration, or standards. Technical documentation and standards development are key, including authoring and updating engineering standards, design guidelines, control narratives, system descriptions, commissioning requirements, operational procedures, playbooks, and as-built documentation expectations. The engineer ensures documentation is consistent, auditable, and usable by various teams and translates complex technical concepts into well-structured written guidance. In an advisory and escalation role for Platform Delivery teams (Construction, Design, Procurement, and Commissioning), the engineer provides guidance on technical challenges, design deviations, or system performance concerns, participates in design reviews and issue resolution discussions, and provides technical input on closeout documentation expectations and BMS deliverable quality. Support is also provided for the evaluation of Commissioning (Cx) and Quality Control (QCx) approaches related to BMS when requested.

Requirements
