Location: Dublin (Grange Castle area) – 3 days onsite (Mon–Wed), 2 days remote Contract:12 months with potential extensions Role Overview: The Controls Engineer will support and enhance the day-to-day capacity of the Controls Engineering team, focusing on the design, review, and optimization of Building Management Systems for hyperscale data centers.
Key Responsibilities: Assist in technical development of control systems (airside and waterside) for large-scale data centers, including campus planning, layout arrangements, climate data evaluations, control sequences, and compliance analysis with IEC/EN directives and standards (e.g., Low Voltage Switchgear, Machinery).
Collaborate with A/E design consultants, providing guidance aligned with established engineering standards.
Perform peer reviews of design deliverables such as drawings, specifications, sequences of operation, calculations, models, panel schematics, and equipment selections; provide feedback and resolutions per engineering standards.
Identify and recommend value engineering opportunities.
Analyze redundancies, failure modes, and Single Points of Failure (SPOFs) in coordination with Reliability, Availability & Maintainability (RAM) modeling teams.
Develop conceptual sketches for visualization and spatial validation to streamline communication internally.
Generate solutions, upgrades, and improvement options to enhance reliability and availability of critical infrastructure.
Work with partners and controls integrators during construction, design, and change management to address engineering issues and improve standard designs/products.
Support continuous improvement processes between products, design, construction, and operations.
Conduct site visits to construction or operational facilities as needed.
Document and track engineering issues using internal bug-tracking platforms.
Prepare presentations to communicate findings, evaluations, and options to stakeholders.
Utilize spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel) for engineering calculations and tabular evaluations.
Maintain proficiency in relevant BMS standards, including Low Voltage Switchgear Directive, Machinery Directive, and Lightning Protection.
Qualifications: Strong knowledge of Building Management Systems and associated standards.
Proficiency in engineering analysis tools and spreadsheet applications.
Ability to interpret and review technical drawings, specifications, and sequences of operation.
