Ark Energy (www.arkenergy.ae and YouTube Video) is a leading AI-first Energy Efficiency, Digitalization, and Decarbonization Advisory firm that consults clients to reduce their energy costs and decarbonize to net zero through a holistic approach to project development, funding, execution followed by digital measurement and verification of energy savings. We deploy extensive AI innovation to automate our clients’ energy management workflows end-to-end, including a suite of advanced AI and digital toolkits that support energy analytics, Low Delta-T Rehabilitation, data capture and cleansing, energy reporting, M&V audit, and our flagship digital energy management information system (www.arkEMIS.io or YouTube Video).



We are seeking a practical and technically strong Site Engineer to support our energy consulting and project implementation activities on a project-by-project basis. The role is field-oriented and involves conducting technical site visits, energy audit inspections, HVAC system assessments, material inspections, installation verification, and commissioning support for energy efficiency retrofit projects and chilled water systems.

The selected engineer will work closely with Ark Energy consultants and project managers to perform site inspections, validate technical compliance, document findings, and support implementation quality assurance activities.


Core Responsibilities

 


Energy Audits & Technical Assessments

  • Conduct Walk-Through Audits (WTA) for commercial, residential, hospitality, and district cooling-connected facilities

  • Inspect and assess HVAC systems including chillers, pumps, AHUs, FAHUs, FCUs, cooling towers, valves, piping systems, control panels, BMS field devices and sensors, and ventilation systems

  • Support Delta-T investigations and identify operational or design issues causing low Delta-T syndrome

  • Perform site verification of operating conditions, equipment status, BMS control sequences and setpoints, and system functionality

  • Capture field observations, measurements, photos, equipment nameplate data, BMS/SCADA screenshots and trend data, and operational findings

  • Support data validation activities related to energy audits, M&V, and engineering assessments
     

BMS, SCADA, Control Panels & IoT Instrumentation

  • Survey and assess existing BMS/BAS and SCADA systems, including controllers, DDC panels, field devices, network architecture, and integration gateways

  • Review and verify control sequences, setpoints, schedules, interlocks, and alarm configurations for chillers, pumps, AHUs, FAHUs, FCUs, cooling towers, and control valves

  • Extract and validate BMS/SCADA trend logs, historian data, and alarm records to support energy audits, Delta-T investigations, and M&V baselines

  • Inspect electrical and control panels (MCC, starter, VFD, and DDC panels) against approved drawings, wiring schedules, labelling, earthing, and safety requirements

  • Verify field instrumentation and IoT sensors – temperature, pressure, differential pressure, flow, humidity, CO₂, occupancy, power and BTU meters – for correct location, installation, wiring, and calibration

  • Support the installation, positioning, and commissioning of wireless IoT sensors, data loggers, and gateways for arkEMIS and other energy monitoring and submetering deployments

  • Carry out point-to-point testing and I/O verification between field devices, control panels, and the BMS/SCADA front end, and check graphics, tags, and point naming against the approved points list

  • Identify gaps in metering and monitoring coverage and recommend additional sensors, meters, or BMS/SCADA points required for energy management, control optimisation, and M&V

  • Hands-on experience with BMS/BAS and SCADA systems – navigating the front end, reading and exporting trend logs, reviewing alarms, and checking setpoints, schedules, and control sequences

  • Working knowledge of electrical and control panels, including MCC, starter, VFD, and DDC panels, control wiring, terminations, and I/O modules

  • Practical experience with field instrumentation and IoT sensors – temperature, pressure, flow, humidity, CO₂, occupancy, power and BTU meters – covering installation, wiring, calibration, and data verification

  • Familiarity with open communication protocols and gateways such as BACnet, Modbus, LoRaWAN, MQTT, or KNX, and how field devices integrate into BMS, SCADA, and energy monitoring platforms

  • Ability to work independently during field assignments

  • Strong technical reporting and communication skills

  • Fluent English required; Arabic is a plus

  • UAE driving license



Preferred Skills (Nice to have)

 
  • District cooling systems

  • ESCO / ESPC projects

  • ASHRAE Level 1 or Level 2 energy audits

  • Chiller plant optimization projects

  • HVAC Testing & Commissioning

  • BMS/BAS and DDC controls systems (BACnet, Modbus, or equivalent)

  • SCADA systems, plant room automation, and chiller plant manager (CPM) controls

  • Electrical and control panel works, including VFD, starter, and DDC panels

  • IoT sensors, wireless metering, data loggers, and gateway deployment

  • Point-to-point testing, loop checks, and BMS/SCADA integration and graphics verification

  • Energy monitoring and EMIS platforms (e.g. arkEMIS) or IoT-based submetering projects

  • Material inspection and QA/QC documentation

  • Retrofit implementation projects
