Senior HVAC & Energy Engineer

Context

La preghiamo di leggere attentamente i seguenti dettagli prima di inviare la sua candidatura.
The Fervo Group company (FERVO) owning and developing a proprietary IoT / BEMS / BACS smart building and energy optimisation platform, is looking to add a senior technical resource to support the technological and operational scale-up of the platform, internally referred to as FEAMS.
Prior knowledge of FEAMS is not required, and it should not be assumed that the platform is already known in the market. What is essential is a strong technical and operational background in HVAC systems, combined with the ability to translate field experience into energy analysis, control logic, diagnostics and root cause identification.

Mission
The mission of the role is to internalise, structure and ope rationalise within FERVO the technical know-how required to analyse the energy and functional behaviour of HVAC systems in buildings, identify the real root causes of inefficiencies, and translate those findings into platform logic, dashboards, algorithms, reports, alerts and repeatable tools.
The person will work closely with the international consultant, the Italian software development team, BMS/BACS specialists, and the Fervo Group Energy Services and Technical Services teams, with the objective of turning technical and operational know-how into a scalable digital product, an industrialised methodology and a stable internal capability.

Role
This is not a purely theoretical energy engineering role. The core background must be HVAC.
The ideal candidate is a senior engineer with solid hands-on experience in HVAC systems, commissioning, O&M and control logic, who has subsequently developed strong capabilities in energy analysis and digital energy optimisation.
The candidate must understand the actual operating philosophy of HVAC systems: how a chiller plant behaves in practice, how AHUs/FAHUs, fan coils, split units, VRF/VRV systems, pumps, valves, sensors, set points, schedules, control sequences and BMS logic interact in real buildings.
The energy specialisation is highly relevant, but it must be built on top of previous and consolidated operational experience in HVAC systems.

Key responsibilities
Acquire from the international consultant the methodology for analysing consumption, system performance and HVAC inefficiencies.
Convert the transferred know-how into internal procedures, checklists, analysis models, anomaly libraries and working tools for the O Technology team.
Analyse data from BMS, meters, sensors, IoT devices, CMMS and third-party systems.
Identify the root causes of abnormal consumption, poor performance, inefficient operating patterns and deviations from expected baselines.
Define control and optimisation logic for chiller plants, AHUs/FAHUs, fan coils, split units, VRF/VRV systems, ventilation, domestic hot water and other HVAC systems.
Support the software team by translating HVAC and energy requirements into functional specifications, dashboards, alerts, reports and workflows.
Contribute to the development of SEU Kits and Energy Conservation Measures applicable to different building types and markets.
Support Italian and international pilots during data gathering, installation, commissioning, functional verification and savings validation.
Contribute to the definition of baselines, energy KPIs, savings models and measurement & verification criteria, including IPMVP-based approaches.
Support Sales, Business Development and Energy Services in the technical qualification of opportunities, business case development and preparation of technical-commercial material.

Required skills and experience
Native or equivalent proficiency in Italian, essential to work effectively with the Italian technical team, software developers, operational stakeholders and field personnel.
Fluent written and spoken English, required to work directly with the international consultant, document the know-how transfer and contribute to the structuring of the methodology.
Degree in Energy, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical background.
Senior experience with HVAC systems in commercial buildings, hotels, offices, retail,…
