About Our Client
Our client is expanding its mission-critical data center operations, supporting ground-up construction, commissioning, and ongoing operations of critical facilities.

The preferred platform is Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO), though candidates with experience on comparable platforms such as Niagara N4, Siemens Desigo, Johnson Controls Metasys, or Honeywell EBI are encouraged to apply. This person will coordinate closely with project managers, electricians, mechanical contractors, and commissioning teams throughout active construction and turnover.
