Job summary

Elevate is launching a heat network platform and seeks an Energy Monitoring Systems Setup Engineer to own site onboarding, data verification and go-live delivery. You will commission sites, verify sensor data, and test platform capabilities with real plant feedback while coordinating with BMS partners and internal teams.

The role requires a degree in engineering, 2+ years in heat networks, and strong IT acumen, including Python scripting.

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Building Physics required.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience with heat networks, HIUs, metering and plant behavior.
• Knowledge of BMS and controls; strong data verification and IT skills.

Responsibilities

• Commission sites onto the platform: BMS mapping, data feeds and metering configuration.
• Verify instrumentation and data quality against how the plant behaves; diagnose faults and coordinate fixes.
• Test new platform capability on live sites before release and document defects with evidence.
• Lead client go-lives: train operators, capture feedback, ensure compliant reporting.
• Maintain onboarding runbooks, mapping registers and change-control evidence.

Job description

Job Title: Energy Monitoring Systems Setup Engineer

Location: London office 2 days per week with national travel as required

Salary: Depending on experience

Job Type: Full time, Permanent

At Elevate, our core values shape the work environment and define our approach to everything we do. We prioritise respect, integrity, active listening, collaboration, diversity, inclusion, quality, lifelong learning, and health and safety. By embracing these values, you will become part of a community that fosters a positive and supportive culture.

We’re currently introducing an operating platform for heat networks, turning live site data into operational and compliance insight. This role owns the practical side of that promise: bringing sites onto the platform, proving the data is right, testing what we build against real plant, and landing rollouts with clients

About the role

A heat network platform is only as good as the data and setup underneath it. This role carries the setup, verification and rollout of the platform across our own operated portfolio and, as we scale, client deployments. You will commission sites onto the platform, verify instrumentation and data quality against how the plant actually behaves, test new platform capability before it reaches clients, and deliver go-lives face to face. You will be liaising throughout with trusted partners, client interfaces, BMS and controls specialists, and our internal engineering and operations teams.

Key duties

• Commission new sites onto a platform: BMS point mapping, data feeds, metering configuration and commercial setup, working with BMS and controls partners where site-side changes are needed
• Prove each site’s data before it is trusted: sensor plausibility, metering coverage, cross-checks against plant behaviour. Diagnose instrumentation and mapping faults, coordinate the fixes, and see them through to a verified close
• Exercise new platform capability against live-site reality before release. Report defects precisely — symptom, evidence, expected behaviour — and verify fixes end to end
• Lead the client-facing side of go-lives: train operators, gather what confuses or fails, feed it back into the platform, and stay with the site until it runs cleanly, including compliance-aligned reporting to the client
• Maintain onboarding runbooks, mapping registers and test evidence to the company’s change-control standard

About you

• Applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to sponsor visas for this position
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Building Physics
• Two or more years’ working knowledge of heat networks — plant rooms, HIUs, primary/secondary circuits, heat metering, and how real schemes behave
• Knowledge of CIBSE CP1 and HNTAS is essential; wider heat network regulation knowledge preferable
• CIBSE Guide M and SFG20 maintenance principles
• Knowledge of the leading HIU brands and models — including Vital Energi VTherme, Danfoss S7 DS and SAV FlatStation among the top ten — and their practical behaviours
• Knowledge of heat metering system topologies and individual supplier features
• Knowledge of BMS systems and their principles of control
• IT literate, preferably with Python programming skills — comfortable scripting a repeatable check rather than clicking through one
• Able to work diligently and independently — verified means verified
• Client-facing and team-delivery focused

Why join us

• Company Pension Scheme
• Sickness Insurance
• Life Assurance
• 24 days plus bank holidays
• After successful completion of probation: CPD opportunities, Private Health Insurance and more
