Job description

BMS Service & Maintenance Engineer

Location: Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire & Surrounding Areas

Salary: £45,000 - £65,000 DOE + Company Vehicle + Bonus

Job Type: Permanent

I'm working with an established, independent BMS specialist based in West Berkshire who are looking to bring an experienced BMS Service & Maintenance Engineer into their growing team.

The business has built a strong reputation for delivering BMS maintenance, reactive support, upgrades and installations across commercial, industrial, healthcare and education environments.

They're looking for someone with strong Trend experience who is comfortable working independently, diagnosing faults and managing their own customer sites. For a more senior engineer, there's also the opportunity to share technical knowledge and support other members of the team.

The Role

• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive servicing on Trend BMS systems.
• Fault-finding and troubleshooting across HVAC plant and associated controls.
• Completing controller modifications, software updates, repairs and system upgrades.
• Supporting small works, installations and system improvements.
• Managing customer relationships and attending sites independently.
• Providing technical support and guidance to colleagues when required.

What They're Looking For

• Strong hands-on experience with Trend BMS systems (essential).
• Previous experience in BMS service, maintenance and fault-finding.
• Confident diagnosing and resolving technical issues independently.
• Good understanding of HVAC systems, control strategies and schematics.
• Experience with Trend controller modifications and software changes.
• Tridium/Niagara experience would be advantageous.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Formal Trend qualifications aren't essential if you can demonstrate the right technical ability and experience.

Salary & Benefits

• £45,000 - £65,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
• Company vehicle provided.
• Performance-related bonus (recent engineer bonuses have ranged from approximately £2,000-£5,000, although not guaranteed).
• 21 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• Extended two-week Christmas shutdown, with only 3 days deducted from annual leave.
• 3% employer pension contribution.
• Optional weekend overtime - Saturdays at 1.5x and Sundays at 2x.
• Paid travel time at half the normal hourly rate.
• Company laptop and mobile phone.
• Ongoing training and technical development.

Working Hours & Location

The role covers customer sites primarily across Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and the surrounding areas, with occasional national travel.

Typical site hours are 8:30am - 4:30pm, with paid travel time on top. The business aims to keep travel within approximately two hours each way wherever possible.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a good opportunity for an experienced Trend engineer who wants to join a smaller, independent business where they'll have genuine autonomy and be trusted to get on with the job.

You'll work closely with the Directors, have a say in how things are done and benefit from a company that rewards its engineers for their contribution.
