Job Description

Job Description:
  • Staff Controls Operator
Role Scope:
  • Operate building management and controls systems, including BMS, SCADA, and EPMS, across live, large-scale data centers.
  • Own real-time load and thermal control as sites come online in phases.
  • Write operating procedures, alarm-response runbooks, and control sequences that can be standardized across the fleet.
  • Diagnose and resolve controls faults onsite, including chiller-sequence issues, breaker mis operations, sensor problems, and control-point errors.
  • Tune control sequences and setpoints to support PUE, reliability, efficiency, and cost targets as loads and hardware generations change.
  • Identify drifting sensors, incorrect setpoints, and other issues before they become operational incidents.
Key Requirements:
  • Minimum of 8 years of experience operating controls for live mission-critical facilities, data centers, industrial environments, or power systems.
  • Experience performing onsite work across relevant controls, electrical, mechanical, or facility disciplines.
  • Strong knowledge of BMS, SCADA, and EPMS platforms, including the ability to diagnose faulty sequences, misconfigured points, and control-system issues.
  • Experience writing operating procedures and alarm-response runbooks used by other operators.
  • Demonstrated ability to resolve controls faults under pressure in live environments.
  • Experience tuning control sequences and setpoints while balancing reliability, efficiency, and cost.
  • Strong understanding of how controls systems support live operations during construction, load ramps, and facility expansion.
  • Preferred experience with hyperscale or colocation data centers, liquid-cooling controls, electrical power-monitoring systems, behind-the-meter generation, and developing controls standards for new fleets.
Salary and Benefits:
  • Competitive total compensation package, including salary and equity.
  • Retirement or pension plan, based on local norms.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Generous PTO policy, based on local norms.
