BMS Operations, Troubleshooting & Monitoring

  • Troubleshoot and restore BMS systems and services including offline and unresponsive assets; review system alerts and coordinate incident triage and resolution.
  • Monitor servers and storage supporting building technology applications; manage application backups and coordinate hardware replacements.
  • Respond to support requests from facility teams, property managers, and facility management partners; troubleshoot application and network issues affecting building technology operations.

Application Technology Ownership & SME

  • Manage overall technology health, stability, security, and compliance of BMS and building technology applications; oversee application lifecycle from onboarding through retirement and decommissioning.
  • Serve as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) for application support, governance, enhancements, and risk management; manage vendor relationships for application maintenance and upgrades (e.g., Siemens, Distech, Lynxspring, or other Niagara-based controls contractors).

Project Implementation

  • Support BMS controls cutovers, system startups, and new user group creation for new construction and retrofit projects.
Required Qualifications:

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Technical Management, or a related technical field (equivalent work experience will be considered in lieu of degree).

Process & Governance Knowledge

  • Experience submitting and tracking technology change requests in ServiceNow or equivalent ITSM platforms; familiarity with OT/IoT security frameworks (e.g., NIST SP 800-82).
  • Ability to navigate enterprise IT governance environments where OT/BMS intersects with corporate IT security policy.

Soft Skills

  • Independent, self-managing; translates technical findings into actionable items for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Vendor-neutral and collaborative when working alongside multiple integrators, contractors, and managed service providers.
