Energy Systems Onboarding Engineer
(Energy Efficiency | Buildings, Industrial & Infrastructure)
Role Purpose
This role owns end-to-end onboarding of energy systemsfrom real-world operational assets to usable, reliable dataso that energy efficiency and optimization can scale across sites and portfolios.
The focus is simple:
make systems work, make data trustworthy, then enable value.
This is a system-ownership role, not a support or analytics role.
What You Own
- Onboarding of energy-related systems into the platform
- System connectivity, data integrity, and operational readiness
- Ground truth of how assets actually behave in the field
In scope: buildings, HVAC, electrical and energy systems, industrial and infrastructure assets.
Core Responsibilities
1. System & Data Onboarding (Primary)
- Own onboarding of operational systems end-to-end:
- Field systems controllers platform ingestion
- Ensure data is:
- Complete
- Correct
- Consistent
- Fit for optimization and reporting
- Identify and resolve gaps between:
- Design vs reality
- Control logic vs observed behavior
- Expected vs actual data
2. System Integrity & Stabilization
- Validate that systems operate as intended:
- Control behavior
- Operating modes
- Safeties and interlocks
- Support commissioning, cutover, and early-stage operations
- Troubleshoot recurring issues and establish stable baselines
3. Field Interface & Ownership
- Act as the technical bridge between:
- Operations teams
- Vendors / integrators
- Internal product and platform teams
- Maintain clear system documentation:
- Architectures
- Key data points
- Assumptions and dependencies
4. Enable Optimization & Scale
- Once systems are stable:
- Support performance diagnostics
- Enable energy efficiency and optimization use cases
- Help establish repeatable onboarding patterns for portfolio rollout
Required Background (Simplified)
Core Experience (Must-Have)
- Hands-on experience with operational energy systems, such as:
- Buildings and HVAC
- Electrical or energy systems
- Industrial or infrastructure facilities
- Practical exposure to:
- Controllers, BMS/EMS, or similar operational platforms
- Strong understanding of:
- How real systems behave in live environments
Technical Comfort (Not Exhaustive)
- Comfortable working across:
- Control systems
- Connectivity and data flows
- Able to diagnose:
- Data quality issues
- Control vs system behavior problems
- Integration gaps
- (Specific protocols are a plus, not the focus.)
Qualifications
- Diploma or Degree in:
- Mechanical
- Electrical
- Automation / Control
- Or equivalent practical experience
- 38 years in:
- Buildings
- Energy
- Industrial or infrastructure environments
- Experience in live or mission-critical operations is a strong advantage
What Makes Someone Successful Here
- Strong system ownership mindset
- Comfortable in messy, real-world environments
- Able to translate field reality into clean, usable data
- Calm, hands-on, and methodical
- Motivated by making systems reliable before making them smart
