Responsibilities
Technical direction and leadership to ensure the appropriate specification, design, supplier selection, integration, cybersecurity posture, and delivery of critical BMS/EMS technical packages (e.g., HVAC controls, utility controls, cleanroom pressure cascades, temperature/RH monitoring, contamination control monitoring, data historian, alarm management) in line with internal requirements and GMP
Technical governance to the project delivery organization throughout the project lifecycle for all building automation and environmental monitoring systems, ensuring design compliance with AZ standards, GMP, GEP, SHE, data integrity (ALCOA+), and computerized systems validation (CSV) principles
Technical support to the receiving organization to ensure that specified performance criteria for BMS and EMS (e.g., environmental setpoints, stability, qualified alert/alarm thresholds, data reliability, uptime SLAs) are met during start-up and early operation, including support for hypercare and stabilization of automated control loops
In addition to governing the design, specification, performance and commissioning & qualification of the packages within their remit, SMEs will consciously also own and champion the overall Operational Lifecycle within their specialist areas, e.g.: - Material, People, Cleaning & Waste movement and design implications: ensure BMS control strategies and EMS sensor placement support personnel/material flows, controlled access, cleanroom segregation, pressure differentials, air change rates, and cleaning schedules without compromising environmental control or data quality
Specification of ancillary rooms and equipment including storage of change/spare parts: define requirements for control panels, marshalling cabinets, network cabinets, server rooms (power, cooling, fire, physical security), spare probes/sensors, calibration kits, and validated backup media
Maintenance and calibration access considerations within the design: ensure ergonomic access to sensors, transmitters, control valves, damper actuators, and field panels; plan for probe replacement, calibration intervals, sensor mapping/requalification, and bypass strategies that preserve GMP compliance
Total lifecycle cost of solutions (including sustainability) versus capital costs: evaluate energy optimization via advanced control (e.g., demand-controlled ventilation, AHU supply temperature reset, heat recovery), predictive maintenance, EMS sampling efficiency, cybersecurity maintenance, software licensing, obsolescence management, and validated disaster recovery
