A BMS Controls Technician is a skilled professional who is responsible for installing, testing, maintaining, and repairing Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) in smart buildings. This role requires an in-depth understanding of the control system architecture, software and hardware integration, and programming and configuration of controllers and sensors.

The primary function of a BMS Controls Technician is to ensure that the BMS and BEMS control systems are running efficiently and effectively. This includes conducting regular system checks, identifying and diagnosing faults, and implementing appropriate solutions to maintain optimal system performance. The role involves close collaboration with other professionals such as BMS Controls Engineers, BMS Project Managers, and BMS Commissioning Technicians.

A BMS Controls Technician is responsible for configuring and programming BMS controllers and other components such as actuators and sensors. This includes setting up communication protocols, setting control sequences, and fine-tuning the system to meet the building's operational requirements. They also perform software updates, backups, and restorations of BMS systems to ensure data integrity and system resilience.

In addition, a BMS Controls Technician troubleshoots, diagnoses, and repairs system faults. This involves using specialist tools to test system components and identify issues such as faulty sensors, malfunctioning controllers, or communication errors. Once the fault is identified, the technician will determine the appropriate solution to fix the issue, whether this involves replacing components, adjusting settings or updating software.

A key responsibility of the BMS Controls Technician is to keep accurate records of all maintenance and repair work carried out on the BMS and BEMS control systems. This information is critical for maintaining regulatory compliance, ensuring system performance and energy efficiency, and for effective management of building maintenance.

In summary, a BMS Controls Technician plays a vital role in the smart building industry, ensuring that BMS and BEMS control systems operate optimally. They are responsible for configuring and programming controllers, troubleshooting and diagnosing faults, and maintaining accurate records of all work carried out. The BMS Controls Technician works in close collaboration with other BMS professionals, such as BMS Controls Engineers and Project Managers, to ensure that the BMS and BEMS systems are aligned with the building's operational requirements and performance targets.
