As Building Automation Manager, you will lead a team responsible for the implementation, support, and continuous improvement of building automation and operational technology systems that support OCI’s mission-critical data center facilities. This role bridges strategy and execution, ensuring BMS, controls, OT network, and related automation systems are reliable, secure, maintainable, and aligned with operational standards.
You will manage engineers and technical partners supporting automation systems across one or more regions, while partnering closely with facilities operations, design, commissioning, construction, IT, and cybersecurity teams. This role is responsible for translating automation standards into executable programs, supporting major initiatives, improving operational consistency, and developing technical talent within the building automation function.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead building automation, controls, and OT engineering resources supporting one or more sites, campuses, or regions.
- Manage the day-to-day execution of BMS, controls integration, OT network support, alarm management, and automation-related operational initiatives.
- Ensure building automation systems are designed, implemented, commissioned, and maintained in a way that supports safe, reliable, and efficient facility operations.
- Partner with design, construction, and commissioning teams to review controls architecture, integration requirements, points lists, sequences of operation, alarming, and handoff expectations for new builds and retrofits.
- Oversee troubleshooting and escalation support for complex automation, controls, and OT system issues affecting facility operations.
- Ensure documentation quality and configuration control across BMS graphics, network diagrams, control narratives, sequences, device inventories, and change records.
- Support OT cybersecurity compliance by partnering with security and infrastructure teams on segmentation, patching coordination, device visibility, access control, and applicable standards.
- Drive consistency in alarm philosophy, monitoring expectations, system performance reporting, and change management practices across supported sites.
- Manage vendors, system integrators, and service providers to ensure quality delivery, technical compliance, and sustained supportability.
- Coach and develop automation engineers and technical staff in troubleshooting rigor, documentation discipline, cybersecurity awareness, and operational support practices.
- Contribute to automation roadmaps involving analytics, smarter alarming, remote support capabilities, and improved visibility into facility performance.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- 5–8 years of experience in building automation, industrial automation, controls engineering, OT systems, or mission-critical facility automation; data center experience preferred, though adjacent experience in healthcare, pharma, semiconductor, utilities, manufacturing, or other high-availability environments is also relevant.
- 1–3 years of experience leading engineers, integrators, or technical programs in a controls, automation, or OT environment.
- Strong working knowledge of BMS, PLC, SCADA, HMI, and OT network fundamentals in multi-vendor environments.
- Experience supporting commissioning, troubleshooting, operational handoff, and post-occupancy support of automation systems.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Automation, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent technical experience also valued.
Skills and Competencies
- Strong people leadership with the ability to set priorities, drive execution, and develop technical talent.
- Strong technical judgment across controls architecture, operational risk, alarm quality, and system maintainability.
- Ability to align engineering, operations, IT, cybersecurity, and vendors around common standards and delivery expectations.
- Structured problem solving and effective escalation management in time-sensitive environments.
- Ability to communicate technical issues, risk, and program status clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Skills / Certifications
- Experience with BMS, SCADA, PLC, HMI, OT switching, industrial firewalls, controls integration, and high-availability automation architectures.
- Familiarity with platforms such as Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Ignition, Niagara, Johnson Controls, or similar automation ecosystems.
- Working knowledge of industrial and OT cybersecurity concepts, including segmentation, remote access controls, asset visibility, and standards such as IEC 62443 or NIST 800-82.
- Experience with commissioning workflows, sequence validation, controls graphics review, trend analysis, and alarm rationalization.
- Familiarity with data center infrastructure systems including mechanical cooling plants, electrical monitoring, EPMS, DCIM, and integrated controls visibility.
- Relevant OEM or platform training in BMS, PLC, SCADA, or OT networking is a plus.
- Certifications such as Schneider Electric EcoXpert, Niagara certification, Rockwell training/certification, Ignition credentials, Cisco industrial networking training, or cybersecurity training relevant to OT environments are a plus.
