Develop risk assessments and operational dashboards, review quarterly maintenance results, and drive corrective actions to continuously improve equipment reliability.
A day in the life
Your morning may start with a review of overnight BMS alerts and coordination with the on-call team to prioritize open items. From there, you could be on-site at a data center validating a controls sequence change alongside a vendor, then shifting to a project planning session where you scope an EPMS upgrade with partner engineering teams. You will regularly move between hands-on technical work and collaborative discussions with operations, commissioning, and design teams, balancing immediate troubleshooting needs with longer-term improvement projects.
