Our client is a small, independent Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) company, specialising in Trend and Delta control platforms.

The Role

Our client is looking for a mid-level BMS/Controls Engineer to join their team, covering servicing, small works, and reactive fault finding across a varied portfolio of commercial sites. This is a hands-on, site-based role suited to someone who enjoys variety in their day-to-day work and takes pride in getting to the bottom of a problem, not just patching it over.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Liaising directly with clients on site, providing clear updates and honest recommendations
• Keeping accurate records of visits, findings, and works carried out

What We’re Looking For

• Solid, hands-on experience with Trend controls systems (essential)
• Experience with Delta systems is a strong advantage
• A mid-level engineer — comfortable working independently, without needing constant supervision
• Strong fault-finding ability and a logical, methodical approach to diagnostics
• A full UK driving licence
• Good communication skills and a genuinely client-focused attitude
