The two BMS Engineers work closely with the Trust's Energy Manger in developing and maintaining the Trust's BMS capabilities. Key areas of responsibility include: Liaising with operational managers to convert their high level non-technical requirements into detailed technical specifications for the delivery of systems to their requirements either by adapting configurations locally, or by instructing change to software design from the supplier. Taking operational managers statements of requirements for data analysis and reporting, and crafting reports from available system data that can be automated to support managers in their operational decision making. Maintaining both a high-level understanding of the business requirements that a system fulfils as well as the underpinning technical architecture required to deliver those business requirements, and being able to identify the changes required better meet the requirements.
