Job Description

FPC Global is seeking a Senior BMS Commissioning Engineer (CxA) to provide independent technical oversight, validation, and acceptance of Building Management Systems (BMS) and associated ELV and environmental risk monitoring systems across Tier III / Tier IV data centre developments.

Acting on behalf of the owner/operator, the role ensures that control systems, monitoring platforms, and automated responses accurately reflect design intent, support operational playbooks, and demonstrate fault tolerance through Integrated Systems Testing (IST).

This is a site-focused, assurance-led role requiring deep technical expertise in controls, systems integration, and mission-critical operations.

Key Responsibilities

Client-Side BMS Commissioning Authority

• Act as Commissioning Authority (CxA) for BMS and integrated monitoring systems, representing the owner’s technical and operational interests.

• Define, review and enforce BMS commissioning strategies, acceptance criteria and readiness milestones.

Integrated Systems Testing (IST) Assurance

• Review, challenge and approve BMS-led IST methodologies and scripts in accordance with Uptime Institute Tier Standards.

• Witness and validate failure mode, redundancy and fault-tolerance testing, ensuring automated responses meet availability objectives.

• Confirm BMS supports operator situational awareness during degraded and fault conditions.

Mechanical & Electrical Integration Validation

• Independently validate BMS integration with:

  • Mechanical systems (chillers, CRAH/CRAC, AHUs, pumps, valves, heat rejection plant)

  • Electrical systems via EPMS (UPS, generators, switchgear, PDUs, STS)

• Verify sequences of operation, interlocks, alarms, trending and control logic accuracy.

ELV Systems Acceptance (Client Representation)

• Own client-side acceptance of ELV systems, including:

  • Access control and security monitoring

  • CCTV and video management interfaces

  • Fire alarm monitoring and supervisory interfaces (where permitted)

  • Network resilience and segregation supporting BMS / ELV platforms

• Ensure ELV systems are fully integrated, documented and operationally visible.

Leak Detection Systems Assurance

• Validate commissioning and integration of water leak detection (WLD) systems across white space, plant areas and critical pathways.

• Confirm zoning, alarm prioritisation, escalation logic and operator response workflows.

• Witness leak-related IST scenarios and approve system acceptance.

Rodent Detection & Environmental Risk Monitoring

• Act as client authority for rodent detection and environmental risk monitoring systems.

• Validate sensor coverage, alarm logic, escalation paths and BMS integration.

• Ensure alignment with hyperscale environmental risk mitigation strategies.

Design & Commissionability Reviews

• Perform independent design reviews of BMS, controls, and ELV architectures at all project stages.

• Review control philosophies, points lists, network topologies, graphics standards and vendor submittals for operability and resilience.

Vendor & Contractor Oversight

• Provide technical oversight of BMS, controls and ELV vendors without direct installation responsibility.

• Identify non-conformances, issue technical observations and drive corrective actions to closure prior to acceptance.

Documentation, Acceptance & Handover

• Review and approve commissioning documentation including:

  • Commissioning plans, test procedures, and IST scripts

  • Point-to-point and functional test evidence

  • Configuration baselines and as-built records

  • Final commissioning and acceptance reports

• Support operator training, handover and transition to steady-state operations.

Compliance & Readiness Assurance

• Ensure alignment with:

  • Uptime Institute Tier Standards (TCCF focus)

  • ASHRAE, IEC, ISO and applicable local codes

  • Client-specific hyperscale standards and operational playbooks

• Confirm closure of all critical items prior to RFS / RFO milestones.

Qualifications

Qualifications & Experience

Essential Qualifications

• Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Controls, or equivalent).

• 8–12+ years experience in BMS / controls commissioning.

• Minimum 5 years in a client-side, CxA, or independent assurance role within data centres or mission-critical facilities.

Technical Expertise

• Advanced knowledge of:

  • Data centre BMS architectures and hyperscale operating models

  • Integrated mechanical, electrical, and ELV monitoring environments

  • Failure mode testing, IST execution and operational readiness validation

  • Control system resilience, redundancy and cybersecurity considerations

Documentation & Reporting

• Authoring and review of commissioning strategies, acceptance criteria and test scripts.

• Evaluation of cause-and-effect matrices and control philosophies.

• Production of formal CxA reports, issue logs and acceptance recommendations.

Tools & Platforms

• Enterprise BMS platforms (Schneider, Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls).

• EPMS and supervisory monitoring systems.

• AutoCAD / BIM / Visio.

• Direct experience supporting Uptime Tier Certification of Constructed Facility (TCCF).

• Experience with FDD and automated commissioning systems is highly advantageous.
