Job Description:

Are you a tech-savvy tinkerer with a passion for lighting systems that just work? Can you talk DALI protocols and IP networks without blinking? Are you the kind of person who gets excited about drivers, inverters, and control gear while everyone else is arguing about lunch?

Good. You're our kind of engineer.


We’re on the lookout for a Lighting Systems Engineer (a.k.a. Commissioning Sorcerer) to join our client’s expanding team of lighting legends. Your mission? Bring clever, dynamic lighting systems to life – configuring, commissioning, and troubleshooting your way to perfectly tuned environments across a variety of commercial and industrial settings.

What you’ll be doing (other than making buildings glow gloriously):

• Commissioning and configuring DALI lighting systems, including DALI drivers and inverters
  
  
• Sorting out IP network configurations like it’s second nature
  
  
• Travelling to site (with your tools and your can-do attitude in tow)
  
  
• Working closely with project teams, contractors, and sometimes curious clients who swear they didn’t touch anything
  
  
• Diagnosing and fixing faults – and getting a quiet buzz when everything works perfectly
  
  
• Documenting everything like the organised legend you are
  
  

Who you are:

• A solid technical background in lighting controls, building services, or electrical systems
  
  
• Experience with DALI lighting systems – commissioning, configuring, and maybe even taming them
  
  
• Comfortable with IP networking, routers, switches, and “why isn’t this talking to that?”
  
  
• A methodical thinker who’s great with detail but can still work to deadlines
  
  
• Someone who doesn’t mind travelling – sites vary, but your tech skills will always be in demand
  
  
• Bonus points for experience with other lighting control protocols (KNX, DMX, etc.), but not essential
  
  
• CSCS Card
  
  

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary (because you’re worth it)
  
  
• Ongoing training and development – if you're curious, they’ll feed it
  
  
• £10 Allowance per day for Lunch - if you're hungry, they'll feed you
  
  
• Travel expenses paid
  
  
• A real chance to make your mark in a growing, future-facing company
  
  
• Supportive team with actual humans who care
  
  
• The satisfaction of seeing lights spring to life under your command (and they’ll even dim properly)
