• Strong technical knowledge and practical experience of Building Management Systems (BMS) and automated building controls.
• Experience across the BMS project lifecycle, including system design, software, installation and commissioning.
• Ability to produce and interpret BMS specifications, control strategies, schematics and associated technical documentation.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently, engage effectively with clients and travel to sites as required.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and annual bonus scheme.
• Monthly car allowance and public transport travel expenses.
• Individual development plan tailored to your professional goals.
• Contributory pension scheme, with a 5% employer contribution based on basic salary.
• Private medical insurance and life assurance at four times annual salary.
• 25 days' annual leave plus public holidays.
