About the position Senior Solution Architect BMS

As Senior Solution Architect Building Management Systems (BMS) you are the technical go-to for the controls and monitoring architecture of our data centers. Your focus is on how the full controls stack fits together from field devices and PLCs through BMS servers and networks to integrations with DCIM EPMS and customer systems rather than on being the deepest specialist in a single product.

You lead the overall BMS concepts and architecture translate operational and customer requirements into robust scalable designs and ensure that our solutions balance reliability cybersecurity usability and energy performance.

You work closely with our BMS integrators OEMs design partners and contractors answering technical questions challenging proposals where needed and making sure that the BMS design is robust buildable and supports our availability and sustainability targets.

You support Project Managers Site Managers and the Commissioning Manager with clear technical decisions and you are a key point of contact for the customers controls operations and IT/OT teams.

Typical systems in your scope:

• BMS platforms and servers including redundancy failover and database concepts
• Field controllers PLCs and I/O for HVAC cooling power monitoring and auxiliary systems
• Controls and automation for mechanical and electrical systems (e.g. chillers CRAH/CRAC AHUs pumps generators fuel systems)
• BMS networks segmentation protocols and integration middleware (e.g. BACnet Modbus OPC REST APIs)
• Integration with DCIM EPMS SCADA security systems and customer monitoring platforms
• Alarm management trending dashboards and operational user interfaces
• Time synchronisation data quality historisation and reporting concepts
• Cybersecurity principles for OT networks and BMS platforms (in collaboration with internal specialists)

Areas of responsibility

BMS architecture and design coordination

• Own and maintain the overall BMS architecture for assigned projects including system topology server architecture controls hierarchy and integration map.
• Translate functional and operational requirements into clear BMS design principles control strategies and performance criteria (availability response times alarm philosophy).
• Define and review points lists control sequences (sequence of operations) and graphics requirements.
• Review and comment on BMS and controls designs from integrators and consultants focusing on interfaces resilience usability maintainability and cybersecurity.
• Ensure that BMS design choices support overall power and cooling concepts operational workflows and energy-efficiency targets.

OEM integrator and supplier interaction

• Act as the main day-to-day technical contact for BMS integrators and relevant OEMs (BMS platforms controllers gateways industrial PCs network components).
• Review technical proposals architecture diagrams control philosophies and integration designs for compliance with EcoDataCenter standards.
• Coordinate technical questions (RFIs) between integrators mechanical/electrical designers contractors and the EcoDataCenter project team.
• Evaluate technical options and trade-offs; make recommendations based on reliability lifecycle cost usability and future scalability.
• Support commercial discussions with technical input where needed (scope definition options value engineering).

Support to projects and site

• Support Project Managers and Site Managers with clear BMS and controls input to planning phasing and constructability.
• Participate in design constructability and value engineering reviews bringing an end-to-end controls and integration perspective.
• Visit site regularly to follow BMS installation panel build device mounting and network deployment and verify that the design intent is followed.
• Provide practical input on panel locations field cabling network segregation and access for maintenance and troubleshooting.

Support commissioning and operations

• Support the Commissioning Manager and commissioning engineers in defining test scope for BMS and controls (I/O checks functional tests integrated system testing failover and failure scenarios).
• Review and interpret commissioning results from a controls and architecture perspective including alarm behaviour sequence performance and response to faults.
• Clarify design intent during fault-finding and help assess the impact of deviations or changes on availability safety and monitoring quality.
• Provide technical handover briefings and training to operations teams on BMS architecture key control strategies alarm concepts and use of dashboards/trends.

Documentation and standards

• Ensure that key BMS documents (architecture diagrams network drawings sequences of operation points lists alarm matrices interface specifications) are up to date consistent and aligned with as-built conditions.
• Contribute to standardising BMS concepts templates and specifications across projects based on lessons learned.
• Help develop and maintain EcoDataCenters internal standards for BMS controls and integrations with DCIM/EPMS/SCADA.
• Keep an overview of relevant standards and best practices for data center controls BMS integration and OT cybersecurity and reflect them in our designs.

Your profile
You are an experienced BMS or controls engineer who understands how a complete data center monitoring and automation chain should be put together. You may have worked for a BMS integrator OEM consultant contractor or operator what matters is that you can see the whole picture and explain it in simple terms.

• Have strong experience working with BMS or controls systems in data centers industrial plants energy plants or other mission-critical environments.
• Understand how field devices controllers BMS platforms networks and higher-level systems (DCIM EPMS SCADA) fit together into a coherent architecture.
• Can read and challenge BMS architectures network diagrams control philosophies I/O lists and graphics concepts and spot gaps or inconsistencies.
• Are comfortable speaking with integrators and OEM specialists asking direct questions and pushing back where a solution does not fit the overall architecture or operational needs.
• Can translate technical detail into clear recommendations for Project Managers customers and operations.
• Enjoy being involved both in design meetings and on site seeing how solutions work in real life.

As a person you are analytical structured and curious. You like solving problems by talking directly to the people involved and you keep the end goal in mind: a safe robust transparent and operable controls and monitoring environment that supports EcoDataCenters sustainability and availability ambitions.

Qualifications

• Degree or vocational qualification in automation controls electrical engineering mechatronics or similar or equivalent experience.
• Solid experience with BMS or industrial controls systems in mission-critical or complex HVAC/power environments; data center experience is a strong advantage.
• Practical experience with some of the following: BMS platforms PLCs field controllers industrial networks gateways and integration protocols (e.g. BACnet Modbus OPC).
• Experience creating or reviewing control sequences points lists alarm philosophies graphics and user interfaces.
• Experience integrating BMS with DCIM EPMS SCADA or similar higher-level systems is a strong advantage.
• Familiarity with OT cybersecurity principles for BMS/controls environments is meriting.
• Knowledge of Nordic/European data center or industrial markets is an advantage.
• Good communication skills in English; Swedish is a strong advantage.
• Good knowledge of the Office package; experience with BMS engineering tools SCADA configuration tools or similar software is an advantage.
