• semantic modelling
• analytics
• identification of HVAC control energy saving opportunities
• measurement and verification
• deployment of HVAC control optimisation strategies

You will play a key part in delivering the BTune solution, across APAC and North American markets with ambition for further global growth.

Career development opportunities exist, with your role and responsibilities having the scope to develop over time, changing with the evolution and growth planned for the BTune business. This may include supporting the management and verification of project tasks as well as training other delivery specialists.
