• Develop O&M manuals, training materials, asset lists, and spare parts recommendations.

• Proven exposure to Chillers, AHUs, pumps, valves, ducting/piping, and HVAC controls.
• Practical experience with CCTV (IP/analog), NVR/VMS, ACS (controllers, readers, locks), and BMS/SCADA integrations.
• Working knowledge of field instruments (sensors, actuators, VFDs), control panels, and low-voltage cabling (CAT6/FO, RS485, BACnet/Modbus).
• Proficiency in testing tools (multimeter, manometer, flow meter, clamp meter) and basic networking for IBMS devices.
• Ability to read technical drawings and control logic, and use common tools (AutoCAD for markups preferred).
• Strong site coordination, vendor management, and client handling.
