Smart OT Implementation Consultant

As an OT Implementation Consultant at JLL you will serve as a deep technical specialist responsible for bridging the gap between design intent and on‑site execution. You will oversee subsystem delivery, integration, commissioning and performance validation across complex smart city environments, ensuring that operational technology systems are implemented to specification and perform as intended.

• Provide technical expertise in one or more specialized domains (e.g., BMS, SCADA, ELV, ICT networks, IoT platforms, command & control systems, utilities automation) ensuring successful delivery from design through commissioning.
• Critically review and enhance templated technical specifications to ensure constructability, integration feasibility, cybersecurity robustness and operational readiness.
• Translate IT/OT design methodologies into construction‑aligned delivery processes that contractors and vendors can effectively execute.
• Oversee contractors, vendors and installation teams to ensure fidelity between approved design documentation and installed systems.
• Lead Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) processes, validating system functionality, performance and compliance with specifications.
• Manage interoperability validation activities to ensure subsystems integrate successfully with broader enterprise platforms and smart city infrastructure.
• Coordinate commissioning activities and handover processes to verify system readiness for operational use.
• Identify and resolve technical issues during implementation, working collaboratively with design teams, contractors and client representatives.
• Document as‑built configurations, system changes and lessons learned throughout the implementation lifecycle.
• Support the validation of integration protocols, communication standards and data interfaces across multiple subsystems.
• Act as the client’s technical representative and oversight contact, providing regular updates on implementation progress, risks and technical challenges.
• Collaborate with other OT Implementation Consultants on cross‑system integration activities and shared technical challenges.

• Minimum 5‑7 years of experience in OT system implementation, commissioning or technical delivery roles across infrastructure, buildings, utilities or smart city projects.
• Deep technical expertise in one or more OT domains: BMS, SCADA, ELV systems, ICT networks, IoT platforms, command & control systems, or utilities automation.
• Strong understanding of integration protocols, communication standards and interoperability requirements (e.g., BACnet, Modbus, OPC, MQTT).
• Proven experience managing FAT and SAT processes and commissioning activities for complex OT systems.
• Ability to critically review technical specifications and identify constructability, integration or operational issues.
• Experience working at the interface between design teams and construction delivery, translating technical requirements into executable work packages.
• Knowledge of cybersecurity considerations for OT systems and implementation of security controls.
• Demonstrated ability to oversee contractors and vendors, ensuring quality and compliance with technical standards.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with hands‑on technical troubleshooting capabilities.
• Excellent communication skills with ability to engage technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience documenting technical systems, producing as‑built drawings and maintaining configuration records.
• Self‑motivated with the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, or related discipline), Information Technology or related technical field.
• Relevant technical certifications in specific OT domains (e.g., BMS, SCADA, networking) are desirable.
