• Install software, apply configurations, and support system startup activities.
• Perform point-to-point verification of sensors, controllers, and field devices.
• Validate communications between field equipment, control systems, and operator interfaces.
• Support commissioning and startup activities for new data center facilities.
• Develop and maintain control system graphics and operational displays.
• Maintain inventories, asset records, and configuration documentation.
• Execute deployment and commissioning procedures in accordance with established standards and processes.

Operations & Maintenance

• Troubleshoot control system, networking, communication, and field device issues.
• Investigate alarms, faults, and performance issues across BMS and EPMS platforms.
• Diagnose issues involving sensors, relays, controllers, and monitoring systems.
• Escalate complex issues and implement corrective actions as directed by engineering teams.
• Document troubleshooting activities, system changes, and resolutions.
• Support preventive maintenance and reliability initiatives.
• Adhere to safety, change management, and operational procedures within mission-critical environments.

Technical Qualifications

• Working knowledge of electrical, mechanical, and networking fundamentals.
• Experience supporting control systems, instrumentation, field devices, and industrial communication networks.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, control drawings, and technical documentation.
• Experience troubleshooting sensors, relays, controllers, communication networks, and monitoring systems.
• Proficiency using diagnostic and testing equipment, including multimeters and network troubleshooting tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured troubleshooting approach.
• Experience following commissioning processes, operational procedures, and change management requirements.

Critical Facilities Experience

• Experience working in environments where reliability, safety, and operational continuity are critical.
• Understanding of operational risk and the importance of procedural compliance in live facilities.
• Ability to maintain accurate documentation and execute work with a high degree of attention to detail.
• Experience with low-voltage copper and fiber infrastructure.
• ISA Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST) certification.
• Military technical experience in electronics, HVAC, controls, instrumentation, or power systems.
• Previous data center experience.
