Data Center Controls, BMS & EPMS Jobs

Controls technicians and engineers for building automation, electrical power monitoring, and critical cooling systems.

Phoenix-based, placing nationwide · Listings reviewed and posted within 24 hours

In a data center, the BMS and EPMS are how the team sees the plant. Controls technicians program, tune, and troubleshoot those systems, and critical cooling techs keep CRAH units, chillers, and newer liquid-cooling loops inside tight limits.

This hub covers controls, BMS/BAS, EPMS/SCADA, and critical HVAC openings posted directly to Facility Talent Jobs. Pure comfort-HVAC roles live on the HVAC-R hub instead.

FAQ

What is the difference between BMS and EPMS?

A building management system (BMS or BAS) monitors and controls mechanical systems such as cooling, air handling, and pumps. An electrical power monitoring system (EPMS) tracks the electrical side: switchgear, UPS, PDUs, generators, and power quality. Data centers usually run both.

Do data center controls techs need EPA 608?

Controls programmers often do not, but anyone who opens a refrigerant circuit does. Many critical HVAC postings list EPA 608 Universal.

What shifts do controls technicians work?

Controls and EPMS roles are often days with an on-call rotation. Critical HVAC techs on the operations team frequently work 12-hour rotations.

Is liquid cooling experience required?

Rarely required today, but more postings mention CDUs and direct-to-chip cooling as preferred experience.

How do employers post a controls or BMS opening?
