DALI Engineer

We are seeking a skilled DALI Engineer to oversee the design, implementation, and integration of DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) systems in data centre construction projects. The DALI Engineer will be responsible for ensuring efficient lighting control, compliance with energy efficiency standards, and seamless integration of DALI protocols with the building management system (BMS). The role requires strong technical knowledge of lighting control systems, electrical engineering, and automation technologies within large-scale infrastructure environments such as data centres. Key Responsibilities: Design & Implementation: * Develop lighting control strategies based on DALI protocols to meet energy efficiency, redundancy, and operational requirements of data centres. * Collaborate with electrical engineers, architects, and data centre designers to integrate DALI-controlled lighting systems into new and existing facilities. * Conduct load calculations, circuit designs, and lighting layout optimization for DALI-controlled networks. * Ensure compliance with IEC 62386 standards for digital lighting control systems. Installation & Configuration: * Supervise the installation, commissioning, and testing of DALI-based lighting systems in data centre environments. * Program and configure DALI controllers, sensors, ballasts, and gateways to ensure optimized performance. * Integrate DALI networks with Building Management Systems (BMS) for seamless automation and centralized control. Testing & Troubleshooting: * Perform functional testing and troubleshooting of DALI lighting networks, diagnosing faults in controllers, power supplies, or communication buses. * Implement redundancy measures to prevent lighting failures in critical data centre environments. * Provide technical support and training to on-site teams on the operation and maintenance of DALI lighting systems. Compliance & Documentation: * Ensure all lighting systems comply with energy efficiency standards, industry best practices, and safety regulations (e.g., LEED, ASHRAE, IEC standards). * Develop and maintain technical documentation, schematics, and system reports for all DALI-related installations. * Collaborate with vendors and suppliers to source the best DALI-compatible components and control systems. Collaboration & Project Management: * Work closely with MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) teams, automation specialists, and facility managers to ensure smooth project execution. * Provide expertise in upgrading legacy lighting systems to modern DALI-based automation solutions. * Coordinate with stakeholders to ensure timely project completion and alignment with data centre operational goals. Required Skills & Qualifications: Technical Skills: * Strong knowledge of DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) protocols, including DALI-2. * Experience in electrical engineering, lighting control systems, and automation. * Familiarity with DALI programming software, lighting control panels, and BMS integration. * Proficiency in reading electrical schematics, circuit diagrams, and control panel layouts. * Knowledge of data centre power distribution and emergency lighting requirements. * Hands-on experience in installing and configuring DALI-based lighting networks
