About the Role

As a BMS Operator, you will be responsible for the operation, monitoring, control, and preventive maintenance of the integrated building systems at our medical institute campus. You will ensure that HVAC, fire alarm, CCTV, ventilation (AHU systems), and related components function reliably, efficiently, and safely, optimizing comfort, energy usage, and security across the facility.

The Building Management System (BMS) is the central platform integrating subsystems—including HVAC/AHU, fire alarm, CCTV/security, ventilation, sensors, etc.—for centralized monitoring and control. Your role is critical in making sure these systems work together harmoniously and respond to alarms, changes, or faults promptly.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor, operate, and maintain the BMS software and hardware interface to manage subsystems (HVAC, AHU, fire alarm, CCTV, access control).
• Supervise and coordinate the functioning of Air Handling Units (AHUs), ensuring proper supply, return air, filtration, pressurization, temperature, and humidity control.
• Respond to alarms, faults, or alerts in real time; diagnose and troubleshoot issues in coordination with mechanical, electrical, and controls staff.
• Undertake preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of BMS controllers, sensors, actuators, field devices, wiring, and communication links.
• Maintain detailed logs, reports, and trend analyses (e.g. temperature, humidity, energy consumption) to optimize system performance.
• Interface with the fire alarm system: test, monitor, and respond to fire / safety system signals and ensure integration with BMS.
• Work on CCTV / surveillance systems in relation to integration with BMS (e.g. alarms triggering cameras, control-room interface).
• Ensure all control and network systems are secure, backed up, and updated as appropriate.
• Coordinate with external vendors, technicians, contractors for major repairs, upgrades, or system enhancements.
• Ensure compliance with statutory and safety regulations (fire safety, electrical codes, medical facility standards).
• Participate in commissioning of new systems, retrofits, or expansions; support installation, integration, and testing.
• Train and support facility staff or users on BMS interface operations, alarm handling, procedures, and emergency protocols.
• Provide shift support (if required) and attend to calls in off-hours in case of emergencies.
