• Evaluation of various energy management applications regarding their technical capabilities, and then analysing building performance metrics from the selected solution, to identify optimisation opportunities on each project.
• Interpret data from building management systems (BMS) to quantify energy savings and operational inefficiencies.
• Deliver actionable recommendations through technical reports highlighting cost-saving measures and implementation roadmaps.

Candidate profile / Qualifications

• Proficiency in HVAC system types (i.e., chillers, boilers, pumps, VRF, FCUs etc), refrigeration systems and control systems including BMS (with technical knowledge of some of the major platforms).
• Experience with energy auditing techniques including energy data analysis.
• Analytical skills: ability to translate technical assessments into procurement specifications for specialist contractors.
• Competence in evaluating software data analytics for energy performance.
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting smart HVAC controls, BMS configurations, and connectivity issues.
• Experience working in or with hospitality properties, particularly hotels.
