Key responsibilities

- Operate BMS for performance: Continuously optimize HVAC plant and building controls through setpoint tuning, schedules, PID/logic adjustments, demand control strategies, and alarm rationalization.
- Drive energy and comfort performance using trend analytics, baselining, and seasonal strategy changes.
- Lead diagnosis of recurring alarms, equipment trips, communication failures, and control loop instability.
- Perform end-to-end fault isolation across field devices (sensors/actuators/VFDs), controllers/DDCs/PLCs, gateways, and supervisory servers.
- Use trends, histories, packet/network checks, and point-to-point validation to determine true root cause (not symptom closure).
- Ensure uptime and resilience of BMS servers, workstations, databases, historian/trending, backups/restore validation, and user access controls.
- Manage preventive maintenance for BMS infrastructure (panels, power supplies, UPS, network switches where applicable, controller firmware, etc.).
- Maintain cybersecurity hygiene in coordination with IT (segmentation, access rights, patch/firmware planning as permitted, password management, audit trails).
- Build/maintain alarm philosophy: prioritization, thresholds, delays, suppression rules, escalation matrices, and on-call/response routines.
- Improve operator effectiveness through dashboards, SOPs, runbooks, and shift handover quality.
- Lead BMS AMC/vendor performance (response time, fix quality, spares readiness, documentation completeness).
- Validate OEM recommendations, ensure technical correctness, and prevent unnecessary replacements.
- Documentation compliance readiness: Maintain accurate as-built drawings, point lists, network architecture, controller programs/versions, cause-effect matrices, and change logs.
- Support audits and internal reviews through evidence-based records (backups, trend logs, incident RCA, maintenance logs).

Projects / Enhancements

- Deliver BMS upgrades and minor projects: Manage enhancements such as new floor/area integrations, sensor additions, control logic modifications,



dashboard/reporting buildouts, alarm rationalization projects, and server/workstation refresh support. Own scope, requirements, vendor coordination, site execution planning, and handover.
- Commissioning, testing handover: Create and execute commissioning plans: point-to-point checks, functional testing, trend verification, and UAT with stakeholders. Ensure clean handover package: updated as-builts, programs, backups, OM, training, and SOPs.
- Support larger MEP/fit-out initiatives: Partner with project teams to ensure BMS design compliance, integration feasibility, and maintainability. Review control drawings, IO schedules, network designs, and sequences of operation.

Key deliverables / KPIs (examples)

- Reduction in repeat alarms and nuisance alarms (alarm rationalization effectiveness).
- MTTR improvement for BMS-related incidents; quality of RCA closure.
- BMS uptime/availability; backup/restore success rate.
- Energy performance improvements attributable to controls optimization (where metering supports).
- On-time delivery of BMS enhancements/projects with compliant documentation handover.
- Vendor SLA adherence and first-time-fix rate.

Required qualifications and experience

- Experience: Typically 8-12 years in BMS/IBMS operations, with multi-site exposure preferred; at least 3-5 years in a lead/manager role.
- Education: BE/BTech in Electrical, Mechanical, Instrumentation, Electronics, or equivalent.
- Core technical skills:
- Strong hands-on in BMS platforms (any major OEM acceptable), including supervisory layer, DDC/controller level, and field integration.
- Protocols integration: BACnet (IP/MS-TP), Modbus (TCP/RTU), OPC, Lon (if legacy),



gateways and multi-vendor integration.
- HVAC control concepts: AHU/PAHU, VAV, chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers; control loops, sequencing, interlocks.
- Networking fundamentals relevant to BMS: IP addressing, VLAN basics (as applicable), switch ports, latency/packet loss troubleshooting, basic cybersecurity coordination.
- Trend analysis, reporting, and data-driven troubleshooting.

Preferred / nice-to-have

- Exposure to DC-grade critical environments or high-availability buildings, command centers, or regulated workplaces.
- Experience implementing analytics/FDD tools or advanced dashboards.
- Project management capability (basic scheduling, BOQ review, vendor evaluation, change control).
- Certifications (nice to have): OEM BMS certifications, PMP/Prince2 (lightweight), energy management fundamentals.

Behavioral competencies

- Strong ownership and calm incident handling; can lead from the front during outages.
- Structured problem solving (hypothesis test isolate validate fix prevent recurrence).
- Stakeholder management across engineering, IT, security, and vendors.
- Transparent communication: converts technical issues into business impact and action plans.

Work conditions

- Portfolio travel across West India sites as required.
- On-call support for critical incidents/escalations (define roster as per operating model).
