Job Category: Self Perform - Building ServicesJob Description:About the Remote Command Centre (RCC)The BGIS Remote Command Centre (RCC) is a technology-driven hub that leverages advanced analytics, real-time monitoring, and expert interventions to optimise building performance remotely. By utilising a team of subject matter experts, the RCC reduces operational costs, improves energy efficiency, enhances occupant comfort, and supports clients in achieving sustainability goals.Key RCC functions include:
  • 24/7 monitoring of critical building systems
  • Remote interventions to resolve inefficiencies
  • Management and reporting of operational risks
  • Support for IoT mobilisation and smart building technologies
  • Continuous improvement through data-driven insights
Purpose of JobThe RCC Operative is responsible for the proactive monitoring and remote optimisation of building systems. Using real-time data from Building Management Systems (BMS), Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) platforms, and IoT telemetry, the RCC Operative identifies inefficiencies, executes first-line interventions, and supports on-site teams to maintain and enhance building performance.This role ensures reduced energy consumption, improved occupant comfort, operational resilience, and compliance with sustainability objectives.Key Responsibilities
  • Real-Time Monitoring & Issue Identification
  • Monitor BMS, HVAC, lighting, and IoT systems for anomalies, inefficiencies, and operational risks.
  • Triage and resolve first-stage BMS issues, escalating when necessary.
  • Analyse telemetry data to maintain optimal environmental conditions.
  • Workflow Triage & Closure
  • Receive, log, prioritise, and manage RCC service requests through the workflow management system.
  • Ensure timely closure of RCC tickets and interventions in line with defined SLAs. (Client Specific)
  • Verify completion of actions and provide feedback to stakeholders.
  • Reporting & Impact Analysis
  • Produce clear and timely reports detailing interventions raised by the RCC, actions taken, and closures achieved.
  • Quantify the impact of RCC interventions, such as response time, resolution time, first-time fix rate, energy savings, improved system performance, or reduced operational risk.
  • Track and communicate trends in recurring issues to support root cause analysis and continuous improvement.
  • Contribute to monthly/quarterly client reports highlighting RCC performance metrics and key insights.
  • Remote Intervention & Coordination
  • Apply remote interventions to correct system inefficiencies.
  • Coordinate with on-site teams and external contractors for complex interventions.
  • Record all interventions for compliance and reporting purposes.
  • Performance Optimisation
  • Adjust and fine-tune FDD rules to suit specific site conditions.
  • Recommend control strategy enhancements to minimise energy waste.
  • Contribute to continuous commissioning and operational excellence initiatives.
  • IoT & Smart Building Support
  • Assist with IoT device integration and telemetry management.
  • Provide technical support for IoT overlays and system troubleshooting.
  • Collaborate on smart building technology deployments.
  • Continuous Improvement
  • Collect client and team feedback to refine RCC processes.
  • Stay informed on emerging technologies and best practices.
  • Contribute to RCC knowledge-sharing and playbooks.
  • Compliance & Security
  • Follow strict change control processes for all BMS and smart system adjustments.
  • Ensure data integrity, cybersecurity, and operational compliance.
  • Maintain accurate audit trails of system access and configuration changes.
