The Role
This role bridges IT and operational technology (OT), focusing on designing, implementing, and optimizing smart building solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and user experience.
Key Responsibilities
Business Solutions & Systems Integration
- Analyze business requirements and translate them into effective IT and BMS solutions.
- Design, implement, and maintain integrated building automation systems aligned with business needs.
- Collaborate with stakeholders (facility management, engineering, IT teams) to deliver scalable solutions.
- Identify opportunities for digital transformation, automation, and energy optimization.
BMS Controller Programming
- Develop, configure, and troubleshoot BMS controllers (e.g., BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks).
- Program and commission controllers for HVAC, lighting, energy management, and other building systems.
- Perform system testing, validation, and optimization to ensure reliable performance.
- Upgrade and maintain firmware/software for controllers and related devices.
System Integration & IT Support
- Integrate BMS systems with enterprise IT platforms (e.g., IoT platforms, cloud systems, analytics tools).
- Support network connectivity for BMS devices, including IP-based communication.
- Ensure cybersecurity compliance for OT systems in coordination with IT security teams.
- Provide technical troubleshooting and support for system issues.
Project Delivery & Documentation
- Participate in end-to-end project lifecycle: requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
- Prepare technical documentation, system diagrams, and user manuals.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and company processes.
- Support vendor coordination and system commissioning activities.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
