About Open Control Solutions

Open Control Solutions is a growing Building Energy Management Systems (BeMS) and controls company primarily based in the North of England. We work with customers to support, improve and develop building control systems, helping buildings operate efficiently, reliably and effectively.

We are looking for a Service & Support Engineer to join our team. This role would suit someone who already has experience in BMS/BeMS service and support, as well as someone from an HVAC, electrical, controls or control-panel background who is looking to develop a career within the BEMS industry.

The most important things to us are technical ability, the right attitude and a willingness to learn.

About the Role

Working primarily across West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas, you will become part of an experienced controls team supporting customers and their building management systems.

The role will involve a mixture of planned maintenance, fault finding, technical support and small works, with the opportunity to develop your knowledge of BEMS and building controls.

Depending on your existing experience, your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance on BEMS and control systems
• Attending reactive service calls and diagnosing faults
• Fault finding on electrical and control systems
• Working with HVAC plant and associated control systems
• Checking controllers, sensors, actuators and other field devices
• Reading and understanding electrical and control-panel schematics
• Carrying out small repairs, modifications and upgrades
• Supporting commissioning and system improvements
• Identifying opportunities to improve system performance and energy efficiency
• Providing professional technical support to customers
• Completing service reports and maintaining accurate system documentation
• Working alongside the wider engineering team on projects and customer requirements

Who We're Looking For

We are open to candidates at different stages of their careers.

You may already be an experienced BeMS/BMS Service or Support Engineer, or you may have a background in another related industry and be looking for the opportunity to move into building controls.

Relevant backgrounds could include:

• BEMS / BMS service or commissioning
• Electrical engineering
• Control-panel wiring and testing
• Building services engineering
• Industrial controls or automation
• Electrical maintenance
• PLC or control systems

You don't need to know everything about BEMS to apply.

If you have good electrical or controls knowledge, can fault find, understand schematics and have a genuine interest in learning how building control systems work, we would like to hear from you.

What We're Looking For

• Good technical ability and a practical approach to problem solving
• Electrical, HVAC, controls or BEMS experience
• An ability to read electrical/control schematics
• An interest in Building Energy Management Systems and building controls
• A willingness to learn new technologies and develop your skills
• Good communication and customer-facing skills
• A positive attitude and ability to work as part of a team
• Ability to work independently when required
• Full UK driving licence
• Ability to travel throughout West Yorkshire and surrounding areas

BEMS experience is advantageous but not essential for the right candidate.

Training & Development

At Open Control Solutions, we recognise that good engineers don't all come from the same background.

We provide an individual training and development plan designed around your existing experience and the skills you need to progress within the BEMS industry.

For the right person, this could include developing skills in:

• BEMS service and maintenance
• HVAC controls
• Control strategies
• BMS controllers and field devices
• BEMS software and graphics
• Networking and communications
• Fault finding and diagnostics
• Energy efficiency and system optimisation

You will have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers and develop your knowledge through practical, hands-on experience.

What We Offer

• An experienced and supportive engineering team
• Individual training and development
• The opportunity to build a long-term career in BEMS and controls
• Exposure to a range of building control systems and technologies
• A varied role covering service, support and small works
• A company that values its people, culture and development
• The opportunity to grow with a developing business
