The Staff (I&C) provides campus-level leadership for Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) within mission-critical environments. This role oversees and guides a multi-building campus location and serves as the primary campus contact for technical critical client discussions across both disciplines, while developing the Engineers and Technicians who keep those systems running.
This role spans both the mechanical controls domain (HVAC automation, cooling plant performance, and the environmental conditions required for high-density compute) and the electrical monitoring domain (power quality, energy metering, and electrical asset integration that support PUE tracking and electrical fault analysis), with the scope and judgment to develop project scope, lead quoting, and represent the campus to clients on both fronts.
What You'll Be Working On
Tenant Program Leadership: Lead the controls architecture and execution for specific tenant programs and their associated buildings, ensuring complete alignment with Crusoe's overarching operational goals.
Standardization & Architectural Development: Draft, develop, and meticulously maintain rigorous enterprise control standards. This encompasses foundational elements like PLC code and SCADA UDT primitives, as well as broader architectural concepts such as lower-level networking approaches, Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies, and protocol methodologies.
Design Validation: Professionally review design deliverables from internal teams and external partners to ensure strict adherence to established control system architectures, capabilities, and standards.
Cross-Departmental Support: Provide expert technical support and guidance to tangential departments, ensuring smooth handoffs, strategic alignment on system architecture, and robust lifecycle management of control systems.

Required
Deviation Management: Drive impact evaluations when project deviations are required, analyzing risks and communicating technical findings clearly with the wider project team.
System Optimization: Weigh the pros and cons of various control system capabilities to drive precise requirements, ensuring optimal facility resiliency and performance.
Client Relations: Serve as the primary contact for technical critical client discussions within your discipline, using strong customer-facing skills and professional communication to manage relationships.
Technical Mentorship: Manage and develop Technicians (1 and 2) and Engineers (1, 2, and Senior) through structured On-the-Job Training, covering both BMS and EPMS technical fundamentals.
What You'll Bring to the Team
Extensive Experience: 8+ years of experience in Instrumentation & Controls with a track record across Building Automation/Management Systems and Power Monitoring/SCADA systems in data centers or large-scale industrial facilities. Comprehensive understanding of MEP systems technical documentation and building engineering drawings, including Mechanical P&IDs, Sequence of Operations (SOO), Electrical One-Lines (SLD), Points Lists, and MEP asset documentation.
Mandatory Education: A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent extensive field experience).
Platform Mastery: Proven expertise and hands-on experience across several major controls platforms, with a deep understanding of their unique capabilities and networking architectures. Strong working knowledge of Allen-Bradley PLCs and Ignition SCADA (Perspective).
Decisive Leadership: A demonstrated ability to leverage your extensive background to make sound, independent professional decisions while effectively utilizing the expertise of the team around you.
Communication Excellence: Strong interpersonal skills necessary to articulate technical deviations, architectural strategies, project impacts, and system requirements to diverse internal and external stakeholders. Strong client-facing communication skills, with experience serving as a primary technical point of contact for customers.
Preferred
Platform Specifics: Deep, hands-on experience utilizing Ignition and Rockwell automation platforms. Experience designing or supporting MQTT-based Unified Namespace architectures.
Mission-Critical Tenure: Extended career tenure within mission-critical industries, such as high-availability data centers or advanced power generation. Experience supporting commissioning programs (L3 to L5) at a campus or multi-building scale.
Operations Insight: Tangential experience in maintenance or facility operations, providing a holistic, full-lifecycle view of industrial control systems.
