Full job description

Data Center Automation & Controls Engineer (BMS/EPMS)

About the Role

We are hiring an Automation & Controls Engineer for data center operations. This role owns the integration and governance of monitoring data from BMS, EPMS, and related HVAC/electrical systems, and drives the high-quality rollout of automation technology across our IDC 5.0 modular data hall deployments. The role works closely with local FM/FE teams, bridging on-site control logic and standardized monitoring platform buildout.

Key Responsibilities

Monitoring Integration & Governance: Own the integration of BMS, EPMS, and other HVAC/electrical monitoring data into the EMS platform, including measurement-point alignment, alarm convergence, and strategy optimization;
Topology Mapping & Architecture Buildout: Coordinate local FM/FE teams to map electrical, HVAC, and automation topology structures, driving standardization;
Automation Logic Review & Risk Assessment: Review vendor equipment (e.g., chillers, fans) PLC control logic, identify potential failure risks, and develop standardized solutions; participate in change reviews and O&M technical optimization;
Emergency Plan Execution: Develop and rehearse EOPs (Emergency Operating Procedures) to achieve coordinated response between monitoring and control systems;
Critical Technology Rollout Oversight: Ensure high-quality deployment of key automation technologies during IDC 5.0 modular pod rollouts overseas; oversee vendor on-site work (e.g., firmware upgrades, BMS modifications) to ensure no disruption to production-environment monitoring quality.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or above in Mechanical, Electrical, Automation, HVAC, Computer Science, or a related field;
5+ years of relevant work experience, including 3+ years in data center O&M management or quality engineering;
Fluent English is a hard requirement, with the ability to independently handle on-site technical communication and English documentation overseas; Mandarin Chinese is a plus;
Strong cross-department, cross-team, and cross-cultural collaboration skills, with high execution and ownership.
Ability to work closely with local FM/FE teams to drive the buildout of IDC control systems, from monitoring through to full automation.
Technical capability in either of the following tracks (either background welcome; composite backgrounds preferred):

Track 1: Monitoring Integration

Familiar with mainstream communication protocols (Modbus, BACnet, SNMP, MQTT, etc.);
Experience with BMS/EPMS system deployment, commissioning, usage, and optimization;
Coding/scripting ability is a plus;
Best suited to candidates with a background integrating low-voltage/electrical and automation monitoring systems.

Track 2: Controls Engineering

Strong hands-on PLC programming and industrial control logic knowledge;
Understanding of HVAC/electrical equipment operating mechanisms — automatic switchover, frequency regulation, airflow/damper control, etc.;
Best suited to candidates with a field electrical (PLC) or HVAC (BA) system commissioning/optimization background.

Candidates with the following backgrounds are still encouraged to apply

Hands-on commissioning experience with a BMS vendor; or
Experience with intelligent control systems in commercial buildings or large-scale factories (building automation or industrial controls), looking to transition into data centers.

What We Value

Strong safety awareness, compliance mindset, and respect for procedures.
Hands-on attitude and willingness to work in an on-site technical environment.
Reliability, punctuality, ownership, and attention to detail.
Clear communication and timely escalation when issues or risks appear.
Teamwork across IT operations, facility, security, asset management, vendors, and customer-side teams.
A learning mindset. Candidates do not need to know everything from day one, but they must be able to follow SOPs carefully and grow with the project.

What We Provide

A role in international data center operations, with exposure to stable, process-driven IDC delivery in Europe.
Role-specific onboarding, site induction, SOP training, and support from experienced technical and project teams.
Necessary work equipment, tools, PPE, and site access support according to project and site requirements.

Job Type: Full-time

Work Location: In person
