Data Center Senior BMS Commissioning Engineer

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 owners 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.
