Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience supporting building controls, industrial controls, Client, EPMS, SCADA, automation systems, or mission-critical infrastructure projects. • Experience designing, reviewing, programming, commissioning, or supporting controls systems for data centers, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, utility infrastructure, or mission-critical environments. • Experience reading, developing, and troubleshooting sequences of operation, points lists, controls architecture diagrams, and controls documentation. • Experience reviewing controls submittals, graphics, network architectures, control narratives, and integrator deliverables. • Ability to identify controls design deficiencies, integration issues, sequence conflicts, and commissioning risks before deployment to the field. • Experience supporting system integration between mechanical, electrical, power monitoring, cooling, life-safety, and control systems. • Experience supporting Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 commissioning activities including functional testing, troubleshooting, deficiency resolution, and turnover. • Experience working directly with controls contractors, systems integrators, commissioning agents, OEMs, and engineering teams. • Experience troubleshooting controls issues from the field device, point list, network, controller, and sequence-of-operation levels. • Working knowledge of BACnet, Modbus, TCP/IP networking, and common industrial or building automation communication protocols. • Experience supporting mission-critical operations where uptime, reliability, and redundancy are key design requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting hyperscale data centers, colocation facilities, AI infrastructure, critical facilities, semiconductor facilities, or industrial automation environments. • Experience with Niagara, Tridium, Ignition, Siemens Desigo, ALC, Schneider EcoStruxure, Johnson Controls Metasys, or similar Client/Client platforms. • Experience supporting EPMS systems and electrical monitoring infrastructure. • Experience integrating chillers, cooling towers, CDUs, liquid-cooling systems, pumps, generators, switchgear, UPS systems, and power monitoring equipment into controls platforms. • Experience reviewing or modifying PLC logic and industrial control programs. • Experience performing factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and integrated systems testing (IST). • Experience supporting controls commissioning for liquid-cooling or direct-to-chip cooling environments. • Experience with control-system networking, OT infrastructure, industrial cybersecurity, and controls protocol integration. • Familiarity with alarming strategies, graphics standards, trend analysis, data validation, and controls documentation standards. • Experience supporting fast-track construction, commissioning, and data center deployment programs.

The Capacity Delivery Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Engineer gigawatts from drawing to energized, in months not years. Capacity Delivery owns technical execution across every build: the drawings, the field questions, and the engineering calls that keep multiple concurrent gigawatt sites moving.

• Engineer data centers that go up in months, not years. At that pace rework is not an option: problems get caught on paper or they cost a data hall.

• Design it once, build it a hundred times. Every site's lessons roll into the reference design on the way to 10s to 100s of GWs, so each build starts ahead of the last.

Role Scope

• Own controls engineering for assigned sites: Client and EPMS design review, integration oversight, and commissioning support.

• Review controls submittals against the standard: architecture, points, sequences, graphics.

• Oversee integrator programming quality before it reaches the field.

• Support Level 3 through 5 commissioning with engineering answers in hours.

What We're Looking For

• You've engineered building or industrial controls on mission critical projects.

• You read and write sequences of operations.

• You've reviewed integrator work and sent it back with specifics.

• You debug controls issues from the points list up.

• Bonus: Niagara or Ignition. EPMS platforms. Networking for controls. Commissioning experience.
