• Provide technical direction and leadership to specify, design, select suppliers, integrate, and deliver critical BMS/EMS technical packages (e.g., HVAC controls, utility controls, cleanroom pressure cascades, temperature/RH monitoring, contamination control monitoring, data historian, alarm management) in line with internal requirements and GMP.
• Govern project delivery for all building automation and environmental monitoring systems, ensuring design compliance with AZ standards, GMP, GEP, SHE, data integrity (ALCOA+), and CSV principles.
• Support the receiving organization to meet specified performance criteria for BMS and EMS during start‑up and early operation, including hyper‑care and stabilization of automated control loops.
• Own and champion the overall operational lifecycle within specialist areas, e.g., material, people, cleaning & waste movement and design implications (BMS control strategies, EMS sensor placement, controlled access, cleanroom segregation, pressure differentials, air change rates, cleaning schedules).
• Specify ancillary rooms and equipment (control panels, marshalling cabinets, network cabinets, server rooms, spare probes/sensors, calibration kits, validated backup media).
• Consider maintenance and calibration access (ergonomic sensor access, probe replacement, calibration intervals, sensor mapping/requalification, bypass strategies) to preserve GMP compliance.
• Evaluate total lifecycle cost versus capital costs, including energy optimization (advanced controls, predictive maintenance, EMS sampling efficiency, cybersecurity maintenance, software licensing, obsolescence management, validated disaster recovery).

• Deep expertise in BMS (Building Management Systems) and EMS (Environmental Monitoring Systems) for pharmaceutical/sterile facility projects.
• Experience with technical direction, design, supplier selection, integration, and delivery of BMS/EMS packages (e.g., HVAC controls, utility controls, cleanroom pressure cascades, temperature/RH monitoring, contamination control monitoring, data historian, alarm management).
• Strong knowledge of GMP, GEP, SHE, data integrity (ALCOA+), and computerized systems validation (CSV).
• Proven ability to provide technical governance and support throughout the project lifecycle, including commissioning and qualification.
• Experience developing and consulting on automation control strategies, compliance plans, CQV, IS/IT strategy, and digital twin strategy.
• Ability to update and adapt global and site standards for project‑specific needs.
• Strong collaboration and leadership skills, able to work with diverse teams and stakeholders.

• Experience with energy optimization, predictive maintenance, and advanced control strategies (e.g., demand‑controlled ventilation, AHU supply temperature reset, heat recovery).
• Experience with technical assessment of suppliers/contractors and vendor selection.
• Knowledge of Lean Tier 1 meetings, A&E firm workshops, and design assurance reviews.
• Experience supporting hyper‑care and stabilization of automated control loops.
• Strong problem‑solving, detail orientation, and results‑driven mindset.

Hourly rate: $75.00/hr – $85.00/hr (exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and education).

Employees will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package starting on day one of employment, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) eligibility after 90 days, paid sick leave, and other paid time off as required under applicable law.
