About Us

We are Optimised, a team of 140 people driven by passion to create a positive impact and make a real difference in the world!

With offices across the UK in Ashby, Blackpool, Bristol, and Sittingbourne, and our team of engineers working nationwide, we pride ourselves on delivering impactful solutions to optimise the world's transition to net zero and beyond.

We recognise that the climate emergency is the greatest challenge of our generation, and we're driven both personally and professionally to be a force for positive change.

We deliver a range of integrated energy and sustainability solutions spanning Carbon Impact, Utility Management, and Building Optimisation that help our clients achieve their decarbonisation goals whilst delivering significant returns on investment.

As a certified B Corp, we place purpose before profit, upholding the highest standards of social and environmental performance, diversity, inclusion, and accountability in everything we do.

At Optimised, we know that our people are our greatest asset. That's why we offer a flexible, fun, and supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to perform to their best. We're always looking for individuals who share our values and are passionate about making a positive impact.

As we continue to grow, we need more dedicated people to join our mission. If you're driven by purpose and ready to contribute to a better future, we'd love to hear from you!

About The Role

We're looking for a skilled and experienced Project Engineer to join our wider BEMS Optimisation division, playing an integral part in delivery and achieving long-term impact.

This role is responsible for small/medium-sized projects such as upgrades as well as performing optimisation works, planned preventative maintenance (PPM), and reactive maintenance to our clients. The successful candidate will have the ability to create and modify software strategies and collaborate with Project Managers to lead small teams.

Our contractual hours are 37.5 hours a week; however, due to the nature of the work and client requirements, all engineers will be expected to be on call as per our company rota, for which additional payment will be made.

We understand that candidates have varying experiences, and it is unlikely that all aspects of the role description will be an exact match. Please don't be deterred if that is the case — we'd love to hear from you if you are passionate about our vision and have relevant experience.

We recognize that talent comes in various forms, and we are committed to providing opportunities that foster growth, diversity, and inclusion for everyone.
