Job description

We’re looking for a Energy Engineer with a strong focus on building performance, energy optimisation and delivering measurable energy savings. The role is based in Central London and is paying up to £70,000 Per Annum.

While the official title is BEMS Engineer, this role goes beyond traditional BMS maintenance. You’ll use BEMS data, energy consumption and plant performance to understand how buildings are operating, identify inefficiencies and implement improvements.

What you'll be doing

• Analyse BMS trends, alarms and plant performance to identify faults and inefficiencies
• Proactively identify and deliver energy-saving opportunities
• Develop and implement plant and HVAC optimisation strategies
• Monitor energy consumption, metering and environmental conditions
• Track building performance and produce energy and reliability reporting
• Carry out predictive analysis of critical equipment
• Support energy reduction, sustainability and Net Zero initiatives
• Diagnose BMS, HVAC and wider building-services issues
• Carry out inspections, maintenance and hands-on fault finding where required
• Work with engineering teams and specialist BEMS contractors to implement improvements

What we're looking for

You’ll ideally have a background in BEMS/BMS, building controls, HVAC, energy management or building performance engineering, with:

• Strong BMS operation, diagnostics and trend-analysis experience
• Experience with platforms such as Trend, Distech, Siemens, Sauter, Honeywell or Carel
• Good knowledge of HVAC and mechanical/electrical building services
• An understanding of energy management and low-carbon building operation
• The ability to analyse performance data and turn findings into practical improvements
• Experience within critical environments or data centres would be advantageous
• Strong Excel, Power BI or digital building-platform skills would be beneficial

This is a great opportunity for someone who understands BEMS but wants a role with a greater focus on building performance, optimisation and energy savings - using engineering knowledge and data to make buildings more efficient, reliable and sustainable.
