The Role
You'll join an established Midlands engineering team, ideally based around the Northampton / Milton Keynes area.
This is a varied engineering position rather than one where you'll be pigeonholed into a single discipline.
Depending on the workload and your existing experience, you'll get involved across commissioning, project works and some maintenance, giving you the opportunity to develop into a genuinely rounded BMS engineer.
If you're coming from maintenance, that could mean developing your commissioning and project capability.
If you're already commissioning, it could mean getting more involved in wider project delivery.
And if you're already comfortable across all three, you'll have the opportunity to come in and make an immediate impact.
The business has projects ranging from approximately £20,000 through to £400,000, although the majority sit around the £100,000–£150,000 mark.
What You'll Be Doing
- BMS commissioning
- BMS maintenance and fault finding
- Supporting and delivering project works
- Working with Trend and Tridium control systems
- Taking increasing ownership of projects as your experience develops
- Working alongside experienced engineers and project teams
- Diagnosing and resolving technical issues on site
- Working directly with customers when required
- Supporting projects from engineering through to commissioning and completion
- Developing your wider technical and project-delivery capability
What We're Looking For
We're deliberately keeping this fairly open.
You could be an experienced BMS Engineer who can come in as a safe pair of hands.
But equally, you could have a couple of years' BMS experience and be looking for the opportunity to take the next step.
Ideally, You'll Have:
Trend and/or Tridium experience
BMS maintenance, commissioning or project experience
Good understanding of HVAC and building controls
Strong fault-finding ability
A willingness to get involved across different areas of BMS
Good communication skills
Ability to work independently when required
Most importantly, a good attitude and genuine desire to learn and develop.
You don't need to tick every box.
The business is specifically prepared to develop someone who has the right foundations and attitude rather than holding out for someone who already knows absolutely everything.
Your Patch
Ideally, you'll be based around Northampton or Milton Keynes.
Projects and contracts extend across the wider Midlands, including Milton Keynes, Leicester and Nottingham, alongside some work towards Cambridge and Oxford.
There will naturally be some travel — that's project engineering — but the business actively tries to keep engineers reasonably local where possible, generally aiming for work within approximately 60–90 minutes of home.
Why This Role?
