Profile title

Monitoring and Automation Systems Engineer/Designer

Summary statement

Design, develop and maintain monitoring/control (EMS/BMS/DCIM) systems and/or components to required specifications, focusing on safety, reliability, quality and sustainability.

Mission/general skills description

Design and engineer a virtual single centralized interface automation system (cockpit) to monitor real-time every device and area in the facility (e.g. power equipment, security devices, ICT equipment, environmental sensors, cooling systems, etc.). Defines a monitoring point matrix which includes all items to be monitored. Develop reporting engines with for example management reports, customer web-portal for tracking SLAs, energy efficiency (PUE). Integrate an automated service desk system (e.g. access requests, incident tickets, service requests, etc.). Objective is to automate and centralize systems of the data centre at various levels to monitor problems which could turn into disaster or to monitor performance trends; if desired in an open sourced virtual platform interface. Implement and upgrade EMS/BMS/DCIM solutions and customer dashboards.
