Overview of the Role
in terms of health, safety and welfare, sustainability, energy efficiency and ‘net-zero’ carbon emissions reduction and reporting.
This role has been created to manage and develop the University’s extensive TREND BMS network, but critically to also support the strategic planning and direction which will transform how the University manages its buildings through the exploitation of advances in smart technology. The University has a desire to develop a smart system solution where software-based analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) based programming can be applied to extract value from data provided by the numerous intelligent but autonomous systems existing at the University. This analysis will enable a detailed understanding of the relationships between different activities and systems in our buildings – and the external factors affecting them. By using smart technology we hope to optimise energy use and reduce costs to improving productivity, environmental performance, operational efficiency, and enhance health and well-being. A significant element of this will be met through the development and integration of the University’s extensive Trend Building Energy Management System (BEMS) and other existing autonomous systems onto a single smart platform, A key aim and a primary objective of this role is to manage, develop and detail the standards and procedures required to ensure that the upgrade from TREND 963 to IQ Vision delivers a system capable of supporting the University’s Smart aspirations, now and for the future. The University is committed to Net Zero Carbon by 2030 and the role will maintain a continuous drive to maximize the efficiency of its building usage and the performance of all the HVAC controlled systems to provide a safe, comfortable environment for staff and students whilst also reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
• The development of long-term strategies and associated funding projections for building energy management systems, smart platform and associated integration works, focussing on delivering the University’s strategic and net zero carbon objectives. • Responsibility for setting University standards and for ensuring compliance with national standards for engineering control systems management of the University BEMS and Niagara AX technical standards and specifications. • Leading the development of BEMS system designs and specifications including the project management of small-scale works. • Manage BEMS engineers and nominated Trend Service Partner (TSP) contractors and Smart Technology partners to deliver reactive, planned preventative maintenance works and analytical interventions. • Responsibility for defining University strategy for and implementation of safe systems of work for all works carried out on the university’s BEMS and AX systems and services including associated equipment. • Continual review, development and implementation of BEMS and critical services alarm strategies. • The procurement and management of BEMS and Smart Platform services’ contracts and the development of planned maintenance and project implementation schedules. • The development of excellent working relationships with Facilities Managers and departmental representatives to identify and implement BEMS and Smart Technology related energy saving initiatives and system performance improvements. • Responsibility for management of budgets (relating to Smart Buildings System and specifically BMS). You will be required to report regularly on projections, actual spends and remedial actions on budget if required. • Responsibility for enhancing and ensuring safe working practices across all areas, you are responsible for to ensure the health and safety of self, team and other parties at all times. • To undertake any other reasonable duties as directed by the Head of Engineering.
