The ideal candidate will need a wide-ranging background in data center environmental controls systems, IT infrastructure, networking, mechanical facility operations, electrical power monitoring, project management and strong leadership skills.
If you are passionate about the Customer Experience, think and act with a global perspective and have the ability to contribute to sophisticated innovations in the area of building controls and automation initiatives, this is the challenge you are looking for!
Controls Design Engineering (CDE)
The CDE team provides Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) design coordination globally.
The team’s goal is to deliver consistent standards for data center controls systems, as well as overall mechanical and electrical design practices. Due to the critical nature and complexity of designing, installing, and maintaining a BMS/EPMS, the CDE team is the primary owner of the associated specification, points list, Basis of Design and scope documents within a large infrastructure engineering team.
The CDE team is a single point of contact for multiple internal and external customers, uniting the efforts associated with:
New construction builds
Legacy site enhancement projects
Data center service projects
In a continual effort to enhance the controls systems, the CDE team collaborates through design review, drives consistent standards, and collects feedback data to arrive at unified documented solutions. Due to the efforts of maintaining, updating, and distributing BMS/EPMS standards, the CDE engineer will drive significant reductions in change order expense, scope gaps between contractors, construction schedule delays, single-sourced vendor pricing, and reduced vendor project management and engineering labor costs.
This position is for an EPMS Controls Design Engineer. Key responsibilities and requirements for this role include:
Knowledge of EPMS programming and design, Modbus communication protocol, electrical distribution systems, single-line diagrams, complex electrical concepts, and data center redundancy
Review MEP drawings with a focus on electrical drawing sets for EPMS design content
Create EPMS scopes of work (SOW), provide RFI support, and review technical vendor proposals during bid review process
Coordinate with each regional project manager to review and finalize project SOWs
Review electrical Long Lead Equipment (LLE) submittals to ensure EPMS scope is captured
Attend Factory Witness Tests (FWTs) and Equipment Qualification Tests (EQTs) to perform EPMS point validation and test EPMS device functionality on first of kind electrical equipment
Create, update, and maintain controls points list and specifications, EPMS drawing templates, Basis of Design (BOD) documentation, and project specific SOW documents
Develop and disseminate specification documents for global projects
Lead and facilitate collaboration with multiple teams including construction, programmers, MEP/ACS engineers, and team managers as necessary to accomplish initiative goals
Manage and prioritize requests for information on new construction builds, existing site facilities support, and legacy site enhancement projects
Serve as central point of contact for multiple internal and external groups regarding EPMS design standards
Ability to successfully operate in high security critical environments while maximizing productivity.
Drive innovation of new solutions to support initiatives, team, and company goals
Interaction with AWS cloud services and other applications to present, archive and analyze accumulated data
Anticipate roadblocks and risks while providing escalation management
Travel globally as needed to manage and support project initiatives
