BW Design Group
Overview
Join to apply for the
Controls Engineer-Data Center
role at
BW Design Group . As a Data Center Automation Engineer, you will join Design Group’s Control System Integration Practice and collaborate with experienced engineers, power systems specialists, and subject matter experts to deliver high‑reliability automation and monitoring solutions for mission‑critical data center environments. You will contribute to the technical direction and standards for Building Automation Systems (BAS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), and integrated control architectures to drive operational excellence, scalability, and energy efficiency across client portfolios. As part of a rapidly growing team, you will learn from industry experts and have opportunities to participate in industry events and achieve professional growth. What You’ll Do
Engineer, design, and program Data Center Building Automation Systems (BAS/BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) with platforms such as Rockwell Studio 5000, Inductive Automation Ignition, Siemens, or Schneider, and standards like BACnet and Modbus. Execute the full lifecycle of complex BAS and EPMS projects—from requirements gathering and system architecture through implementation, commissioning, and client turnover. Use industry knowledge and trends to guide BAS and EPMS designs and standards for a diverse set of clients and projects. Contribute to enterprise-wide standards and best practices for building automation and power monitoring, focusing on scalability, cybersecurity, redundancy, and operational efficiency in data center applications. Partner with clients to translate technical needs into engineered solutions, communicate with stakeholders, and build long-term relationships through high‑value results. Champion innovation in BAS/EPMS technologies, evaluating emerging tools, protocols, and strategies to improve system resilience, energy efficiency, and fault diagnostics. What You’ll Bring
Minimum of 5 years of progressive engineering experience in building automation, EPMS, and integrated controls within mission-critical environments—especially data centers. Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Control Systems Engineering or similar. Expertise in BAS and EPMS platforms and PLCs (e.g., Rockwell Studio 5000, Inductive Automation Ignition, Siemens or Schneider) and standards like BACnet and Modbus. Experience with field instrumentation, industrial networking, system integration, panel design, and SCADA architectures for environmental and electrical system monitoring. Exceptional communication skills to interface with technical teams and executive-level clients, translating technical requirements into strategic solutions. Analytical mindset with advanced troubleshooting abilities to resolve complex operational challenges and deliver reliable, secure solutions. Flexibility and willingness to travel for project execution, FAT/SFAT, and commissioning activities. Knowledge of datacenter/mission critical commissioning requirements L1-L5 and experience with datacenter and mission critical greenfield construction. Interest in emerging control system technology and willingness to learn and contribute in a team environment. Proficient in revision/version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) to manage automation code, drawings, and configuration files, with ability to track changes and support collaborative development. Project management experience is a plus. SCADA design and network engineering experience is a plus. Culture and Career Development
Our culture and commitment to our people set us apart. We foster mutual respect, integrity, and a focus on individual and collective success. The company supports professional development through resources and mentorships, including our First Year Experience program, Individual Development Plans, and Career Path tools. You will be supported by a team of exceptional talent as you grow as a world-class engineer and leader. If you’re on the path to becoming a Data Center Automation Engineer, we’d love to connect to help you grow into a Design Group Engineering Consultant. Compensation
The approximate pay range for this position is $100k-$150k. Final compensation may vary based on background, knowledge, skills, and abilities as well as geographic location of the position.
