AECOM is seeking a highly motivated Control System Designer to design state-of-the-art automation and SCADA systems for mechanical and electrical systems in complex data center and mission-critical infrastructure projects globally. This is a remote position based in the U.S., offering flexibility with occasional travel for client meetings and project milestones.
What You'll Do
- Coordinate with mechanical design team to develop control sequences, diagrams, and points lists for mechanical systems serving both building and process systems.
- Coordinate with electrical design team on the development of network architectures and points lists for electrical distribution and conditioning systems.
- Coordinate with Information and Communications Technology (ICT) design team to coordinate structured ethernet cabling interfaces to control panels and end devices.
- Design resilient operational technology (OT) networks for control systems including both ethernet and serial networks utilizing various media (wireless, fiber, copper).
- Develop basis of design (BOD) for building automation system (BAS), programmable logic controllers (PLC) and power monitoring system (PMS) controllers, instrumentation and software including datasheets.
- Develop and tailor division 23 and 25 controls, instrumentation, and cyber security technical specifications in alignment with BOD.
- Develop and tailor division 26 power monitoring specifications including coordination with electrical team for specification of factory-mounted systems on distribution equipment for compatibility.
- Familiar with modern control system protocols for BAS, EPMS, & PLC – i.e. Modbus, BACnet, EtherNet/IP, etc., along with proper applications and network requirements for specification.
- Verify compliance with applicable US codes and engineering standards/practices.
- Ability to work with templated models for system deployment, tracking and justifying all changes from client’s models.
- Coordinate with other disciplines as needed for a cohesive and well-coordinated design.
- Work flexible hours to attend project meetings/calls.
- Be detail-oriented and technical yet experienced enough to see the big picture.
- Schedule and meet budget expectations.
- Multi-task and be flexible, along with ability to adapt to project deadlines.
- Have passion and enthusiasm for design in a collaborative and progressive team-oriented work environment.
