What You Will Do

- Interpret mechanical, piping, electrical, plumbing, controls, and architectural drawings; project specifications; engineering standards; sales take-offs; sequences of operation; and customer requirements.
- Translate project requirements into coordinated BMS hardware designs with minimal supervision, identifying missing information, conflicts, and technical risks early.
- Produce and maintain system schematics, control panel layouts, wiring diagrams, network architecture drawings, controller and I/O selection, point schedules, bills of material, and engineering submittals.
- Select and size field devices, including sensors, transmitters, actuators, dampers, and control valves, based on project requirements and applicable standards.
- Develop clear control logical diagrams and relay logic wiring that support installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and long-term serviceability.
- Coordinate BMS interfaces with HVAC equipment, electrical metering, packaged equipment, life-safety interfaces where applicable, and third-party systems.
- Perform design self-checks and peer reviews to verify technical accuracy, constructability, consistency, and compliance before release.
- Manage assigned engineering deliverables against project priorities, milestones, and revision cycles while communicating status and risks promptly.
- Collaborate with customers, project managers, application engineers, software engineers, panel builders, field teams, and remote engineering teams.
- Contribute to standardization, reusable design libraries, lessons learned, and continuous improvement of hardwire design practices.

Technical Scope

- BMS protocols (Optional) BACnet IP and MS/TP, Modbus TCP and RTU, LonWorks, OPC, and SNMP integration concepts.
- Core deliverables System schematics, point schedules, controller and device selection, network architecture, bills of material, panel layouts, terminal details, and wiring diagrams.
- HVAC systems Air-handling units, chillers, boilers, pumps, variable air volume systems, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and associated plant controls.
- Engineering tools Microsoft Visio and AutoCAD. Familiarity with document control, progress reporting, Microsoft 365 collaboration tools such as proficiency with Excel.




- Controls platforms (Optional) Practical experience designing solutions using DDC and/or PLC-based control systems.

- At least 2 years of hands-on experience producing BMS, building automation, or controls hardware designs for real projects.
- Solid understanding of HVAC equipment, instrumentation, control panels, electrical wiring, I/O types, and communication networks.
- Working proficiency in AutoCAD or Microsoft Visio and the ability to create clear, consistent technical drawings.
- Ability to read and reconcile multiple sources of design information and make sound engineering decisions within the assigned scope.
- English B2 certification and professional written and verbal communication skills for direct collaboration with integral customers and cross-functional teams.
- Ability to work effectively across time zones and with remote or offshore project teams.

Preferred Qualifications (Optional)

- Experience with data center, healthcare, pharmaceutical, industrial, or other mission-critical facility projects.
- Experience in a global engineering center or on international projects with formal submittal and review cycles.
- Knowledge of control panel design practices, electrical protection, power distribution, grounding, segregation, labeling, and maintainability.
- Familiarity with relevant automation, electrical, and data center standards and with customer-specific design guidelines.
- Experience supporting design reviews, technical clarifications, value engineering, commissioning, or field issue resolution.
