Job summary

Hereworks is seeking a Smart Building Engineer to design, deliver, commission and improve data and integration systems across projects. You will work with BMS, IoT devices, edge gateways and cloud platforms to ensure reliable, structured building data from field devices through edge to cloud.

The role covers data standards, ingestion, transformation and automation, with responsibility for problem-solving across devices, networks and software.

Qualifications

• Experience with BMS, building controls, IoT or smart building systems.
• Experience integrating technical systems or working with building/IoT data.
• Good understanding of BMS points, devices, values, units and metadata.
• Understanding of data flows between field systems, edge systems and cloud platforms.
• Experience with MQTT, APIs or other system integration technologies.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills across both systems and data.
• Experience using scripting, programming or data-processing tools to support or automate technical work.
• Ability to understand technical architectures, network diagrams and system documentation.
• Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, contractors, vendors and stakeholders.
• A degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Building Services or related discipline is beneficial.

Responsibilities

• Design, configure and maintain data flows across BMS, IoT devices, edge gateways, MQTT brokers, smart building platforms and cloud systems.
• Configure and support integrations between building systems, edge infrastructure and cloud platforms.
• Develop and maintain scripts, tools and automation for data ingestion, transformation, mapping, validation and monitoring.
• Support integration technologies and protocols including MQTT, BACnet, APIs and other relevant interfaces.
• Maintain a clear understanding of system architectures and data flows across assigned projects.
• Structure and maintain building data including asset registers, point lists, device metadata, data mappings and interoperability records.
• Define and apply consistent asset naming, point naming, metadata and data-model standards.
• Map raw building-system data into standardised telemetry structures.
• Support the implementation of standards and ontologies such as BDNS, Digital Building Ontology (DBO), Brick, Haystack and project-specific models.
• Ensure project data is accurate, consistent and aligned with Hereworks standards.
• Commission and validate smart building integrations from field systems through to edge and cloud platforms.
• Confirm devices are connected, data values and units are correct, naming and metadata are compliant, and data is mapped to the correct assets and spaces.
• Validate that telemetry reaches platforms and dashboards, analytics, alarms and outputs operate as intended.
• Investigate and resolve issues across field devices, BMS platforms, networks, edge gateways, MQTT brokers, data mappings and cloud integrations.
• Work with BMS contractors, network teams, vendors and software providers to identify and resolve root causes.
