Job description

Overview

BMS Engineer – Location: Gatwick (Site-based). Sector: Built Environment / Energy / Estates. Salary: Competitive + package.

Mech Electrics is recruiting a BMS Engineer to support building-services and energy works at Gatwick. You’ll work on BMS installations, integration and optimisation across complex live buildings, supporting energy efficiency and decarbonisation initiatives.

About Us

Mech Electrics is a specialist recruitment partner operating across the built environment, supporting MEP contractors and energy-delivery organisations working on complex, operational buildings and estates. We work closely with long-standing clients delivering mechanical, electrical and energy upgrades across major sites, and have been appointed to manage recruitment for this Gatwick-based BMS engineering role.

The Opportunity

This role is based on the Gatwick estate, supporting building-services and energy projects across a diverse portfolio of operational buildings.

The focus is on:

• BMS installation, upgrades and integration
• Supporting energy efficiency and decarbonisation works
• Ensuring systems operate reliably within a live, high-compliance environment

This is not a call-out-heavy service role. It's a planned, delivery-focused BMS position, working alongside MEP delivery teams and estates stakeholders.

The Role

As a BMS Engineer, you'll play a key role in ensuring building-management systems operate correctly, efficiently and in line with site requirements.

Typical responsibilities will include:

• Installation, configuration and commissioning of BMS systems
• Modifying and optimising existing BMS installations
• Fault-finding and system diagnostics
• Supporting integration with mechanical and electrical plant
• Working alongside Project Managers and Site Managers
• Ensuring compliance with site processes and permit systems
• Producing accurate commissioning and handover documentation
• Supporting energy optimisation and operational improvements

You'll be trusted to work methodically and professionally in a regulated, live environment.

What We're Looking For

This role suits a BMS Engineer who is technically confident and comfortable working on large, operational estates.

• Proven experience as a BMS Engineer
• Experience installing, commissioning or supporting BMS systems
• Familiarity with common BMS platforms (e.g. Trend, Schneider, Siemens, Honeywell or similar)
• Comfortable working within live buildings and controlled environments
• Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills
• Able to work independently and as part of a wider delivery team
• Clear communication and documentation skills
• Full UK driving licence
• (Security clearance or site passes may be required for Gatwick access.)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Long-term work on a major operational estate (in excess of 4 years)
• Structured, delivery-led environment (not reactive call-outs)
• Exposure to energy efficiency and decarbonisation programmes
• Opportunity to work as part of an established site team
• Stable role with a reputable delivery partner
