Job description

We are seeking a Data Center Control Systems Commissioning Engineer to support testing, commissioning, validation and operational readiness of mission-critical data center facilities. The role is focused on commissioning Building Management Systems (BMS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), SCADA, HVAC controls, plant interfaces, and integrated control systems supporting power, cooling and facility operations.

• Strong hands-on troubleshooting and commissioning execution capability.
• Ability to work safely and effectively in live construction and data center environments.
• Good understanding of mission-critical uptime, redundancy, and operational risk requirements.
• Strong written documentation, test reporting, and issue tracking discipline.
• Clear communication with customers, vendors, contractors, and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Ability to work independently under commissioning schedule pressure while maintaining quality and safety.

Industry Exposure

Experience in data centers, mission-critical facilities, BMS/EPMS, industrial automation, process industries, utilities, power generation, pharmaceutical or large infrastructure environments.

Minimum 5–12 years of hands-on commissioning, start-up, site testing, troubleshooting or controls delivery experience preferred.

Technical Capability

Hands-on exposure to BMS, EPMS, SCADA, HVAC controls, PLC troubleshooting, field device validation, point-to-point checks, SAT/FAT and functional testing.

• Commission and validate BMS, EPMS, SCADA, HVAC controls and auxiliary facility automation systems.
• Execute point-to-point checks, loop checks, functional testing, SAT, site start-up and system acceptance activities.
• Verify field devices including sensors, actuators, control valves, VFD interfaces, meters, UPS interfaces, generator interfaces, switchgear signals, CRAH/CRAC systems and chiller plant controls.
• Validate control sequences, alarms, trends, interlocks, failover behavior, and cause-and-effect matrices.
• Support pre-commissioning, commissioning, energization, integrated testing, and handover phases.

Integrated Systems Testing (IST)

• Plan, support and execute integrated systems testing across electrical, mechanical, cooling, BMS, EPMS, and SCADA systems.
• Simulate operating and failure scenarios to confirm expected control response, redundancy, resilience, and recovery sequences.
• Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, controls, network, vendor and operations stakeholders during IST execution.
• Capture test results, defects, observations, corrective actions, and retest evidence.

Technical Troubleshooting and Site Support

• Diagnose commissioning issues related to controls logic, field wiring, device addressing, network connectivity, protocol mapping, alarms and graphics.
• Troubleshoot communication protocols such as BACnet, Modbus TCP/IP, OPC, Ethernet/IP and Profinet where applicable.
• Support root cause analysis for commissioning defects and coordinating corrective actions with responsible vendors or contractors.
