About This Role
The Staff (I&C) provides campus-level leadership for Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) within mission-critical environments. This role oversees and guides a multi-building campus location and serves as the primary campus contact for technical critical client discussions across both disciplines, while developing the Engineers and Technicians who keep those systems running.
This role spans both the mechanical controls domain (HVAC automation, cooling plant performance, and the environmental conditions required for high-density compute) and the electrical monitoring domain (power quality, energy metering, and electrical asset integration that support PUE tracking and electrical fault analysis), with the scope and judgment to develop project scope, lead quoting, and represent the campus to clients on both fronts.
What You'll Be Working On
-
Tenant Program Leadership: Lead the controls architecture and execution for specific tenant programs and their associated buildings, ensuring complete alignment with Crusoe's overarching operational goals.
-
Standardization & Architectural Development: Draft, develop, and meticulously maintain rigorous enterprise control standards. This encompasses foundational elements like PLC code and SCADA UDT primitives, as well as broader architectural concepts such as lower-level networking approaches, Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies, and protocol methodologies.
