BMS / SCADA Specialist - Data Center Specialist

Job Description

• Lead and execute BMS and SCADA activities across the full project lifecycle, including design review, configuration, installation support, testing, commissioning, integrated systems testing (IST), and final handover.
• Review and validate BMS / SCADA architecture, points lists, network topology, control schematics, sequences of operation, and graphics to ensure alignment with project requirements and data center best practices.
• Configure, program, test, and troubleshoot BMS and SCADA systems, including controllers, servers, field devices, HMIs, databases, and alarm management systems.
• Integrate BMS and SCADA with data center critical systems, including electrical (UPS, generators, switchgear, power meters), mechanical (HVAC, chillers, CRAH/CRAC units), fire alarm systems, BMS subsystems, DCIM, and third‑party systems using standard protocols (BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, OPC).
• Support and participate in Integrated Systems Testing (IST) to validate control logic, alarms, interlocks, failover scenarios, redundancy, and operational sequences.
• Coordinate closely with commissioning managers, MEP engineers, system vendors, OEMs, IT/network teams, contractors, and client representatives.
• Witness and support FAT, SAT, and site testing, ensuring all observations are recorded and resolved.
• Develop, review, and maintain BMS / SCADA documentation, including system configuration records, test results, alarm matrices, trend logs, backups, and sign‑off documents.
• Ensure BMS and SCADA systems comply with project specifications, international standards, cybersecurity practices (where applicable), and local KSA regulations.
• Monitor and enforce HSE requirements during all testing and commissioning activities.
• Support preparation of O&M manuals, operator training, system demonstrations, and final handover to facility operations teams.
• Assist with post‑handover support, fine‑tuning, and optimization during initial operations if required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automation, Control Systems, or related discipline.
• 7–10 years of experience in BMS / SCADA systems
• 3–5+ years of experience on data center or mission‑critical projects preferred.
• Strong hands-on experience with BMS and SCADA platforms (e.g., Siemens, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, ABB, Rockwell)
• Proficiency in industrial communication protocols (BACnet IP/MSTP, Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC, SNMP)
• Good understanding of data center operations, redundancy concepts (N, N+1, 2N), and alarm management
• Ability to read and interpret control drawings, network diagrams, and sequences of operation
