This is not your typical controls contractor role - we design and deliver tailored, tech-driven solutions that go beyond standard BMS installations, integrating IoT technologies, advanced analytics, and bespoke platforms developed in-house. This is a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects across the UK and internationally, where creativity, collaboration, and innovation are at the core of everything we do.

The Role

As a key part of the team, you\'ll work alongside technical and commercial departments to design, price, and propose bespoke BMS and smart building solutions. You\'ll carry out engineering site surveys, produce detailed cost estimates, and deliver compelling proposals that meet and exceed client expectations.

Responsibilities

• Develop and deliver accurate BMS quotations and project estimates
• Design and present tailored proposals for smart building projects
• Carry out engineering surveys on client sites
• Work closely with sales and engineering teams to align technical solutions with customer needs
• Conduct market research to stay ahead of industry trends
• Build and maintain relationships with clients, consultants, FM providers, and contractors
• Represent the business at customer meetings, trade shows, and industry events
• Present and demonstrate solutions to clients with confidence and clarity
• Maintain bid documentation, forecasts, and reporting on sales activity
• Support internal communications and induction presentations for new starters

What We're Looking For

• Degree (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• In-depth understanding of BMS systems, IoT, and smart building technologies
• Proven experience delivering detailed BMS tenders and project proposals
• Strong commercial awareness and ability to tailor technical solutions to client needs
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
• Highly organised with the ability to manage your own schedule
• UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the UK (and occasionally in Europe)
• Passion for innovation and a desire to push technological boundaries

What\'s on Offer

• Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 (depending on experience)
• Holiday: 25 days per year (plus public holidays)
• Pension: 3% contribution after 3 months
• A highly collaborative, innovative, and supportive working environment
• The chance to make a real impact on the future of smart building technology

If you\'re ready to join a company that values creativity, challenges the norm, and embraces the future of smart buildings - we want to hear from you. Apply now to be part of a team that\'s changing the way buildings work - one smart solution at a time.
