Nice to Have - Knowledge of AI/HPC data centre plant, including liquid cooling, UPS, switchgear, and GPU and fabric telemetry. - Familiarity with reliability standards such as RCM, FMEA, ISO 14224, and ISO 55000. - Experience with digital twin or CFD-informed modelling. - Experience with BIM/COBie handover. - Background in energy and grid optimisation. ## Description Nscale's operational systems (BMS, DCIM, EPMS/SCADA, CMMS/EAM, ITSM, fabric and GPU telemetry) and equipment data were procured independently. Each works well on its own, but together they give overlapping and sometimes contradictory views of the same assets. As Senior Director, System Engineering & Intelligence, you will bring that data centre insight together. You'll own the equipment digital thread - from product definition and procurement through commissioning and handover into maintenance - along with the telemetry and analytics foundation that lets the Nscale Operational Systems (NOS) act on our physical estate with confidence. The goal is data centres that are measurably self-aware and progressively self-operating, where a site is declared ready based on evidence rather than judgement. What You'll be Doing - Set strategy and investment: own a costed, sequenced multi-year roadmap and investment portfolio across CMMS/EAM, PIM/PLM, integration, telemetry, and the data platform, starting with an assessment of which systems should be consolidated, retained, replaced, or newly instrumented. - Own the asset master and governance: establish one canonical identity for every asset, along with taxonomy, hierarchy, configuration, and BOM standards, ensuring every critical data object has one system of record. - Lead cleansing and validation-at-source programmes so governed lifecycle data replaces spreadsheets. - Build the telemetry foundation: deliver a unified asset and topology model from grid connection down to GPU and network port, with OT/IT ingest (Modbus, BACnet, OPC UA, MQTT, Redfish, DCGM) and IEC 62443-aligned segmentation. - Publish data-quality scores and agree single, shared definitions for PUE, WUE, capacity, stranded power, and availability. - Make maintenance and reliability trustworthy: own the CMMS/EAM configuration baseline (criticality, PM strategy, spares, warranties) and controlled SOP/MOP/EOP libraries. - Map condition data deterministically to assets so predictive maintenance raises work orders, not just reports. - Move NOS intelligence toward autonomy: build anomaly detection, remaining-useful-life prediction, and thermal and power optimisation. - Progress control loops through shadow, recommend-only, human-approved, and bounded-autonomous stages, each with explicit safety envelopes and engineering sign-off. - Assure site readiness: turn commissioning (L1-L5) into data, set acceptance gates for handover, and score readiness quantitatively per hall and per site. - Benchmark readiness across the portfolio so defects found on one build are designed out of the next. - Act as the senior escalation point across Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Operations, Reliability, Platform, Finance, and HSE, and enforce supplier and OFCI data deliverables. - Build and develop a high-performing team spanning lifecycle engineering, data science, and data engineering.
