• Assist in configuring and supporting Power Monitoring / EPMS systems, including meters, gateways, and networked electrical devices.
• Integrate environmental monitoring systems including temperature, humidity, differential pressure, and leak detection.
• Configure points, alarms, trends, dashboards, and notifications across BMS and power platforms.
• Support integration of third‑party systems via multiple protocols.

• Support and validate low‑voltage controls and monitoring cabling (BACnet, Modbus, Ethernet, RS‑485, sensor wiring).
• Coordinate and verify installation of temperature sensors, humidity sensors, water/leak detection cable, flow devices, and power meters.
• Troubleshoot signal, polarity, termination, grounding, and communication issues.
• Validate device addressing, calibration, and data accuracy.

• Lead point‑to‑point checks, functional testing, and system startup for BMS, power, and environmental systems.
• Validate control sequences, alarm thresholds, and trending through live testing.
• Support integrated systems testing in coordination with electrical contractors, mechanical contractors, and commissioning agents.
• Identify and resolve issues related to controllers, sensors, meters, networks, and gateways.

• Serve as the primary onsite technical lead for controls, power monitoring, and environmental systems.
• Coordinate with electricians, low‑voltage installers, mechanical contractors, and facility teams.
• Provide real‑time technical guidance to technicians during installation and startup.
• Act as escalation support for system or integration issues.

• Maintain accurate redlines, as‑built documentation, point lists, and programming notes.
• Verify all monitoring points, alarms, and trends are functional and meaningful.
• Support system handoff to operations and service teams with clean documentation.
• Ensure systems meet customer standards and are ready for long‑term, 24x7 operation.

• 3–5+ years hands‑on experience with BMS / BAS / HVAC controls
• Strong familiarity with power monitoring, EPMS, and electrical metering concepts
• Experience working with environmental monitoring systems (leak detection, temperature, humidity, pressure)
• Solid understanding of HVAC equipment and mechanical room systems
• Proven field experience with commissioning and troubleshooting live systems
• Working knowledge of:
  • BACnet/IP, Modbus, SNMP, RS‑485, Ethernet
