Job description
If you have ever designed a system and wondered how much of it actually worked as intended on site, this role closes that gap.
You will be part of a specialist team delivering BMS systems across data centres and complex infrastructure projects, with full involvement from design through to commissioning and handover.
This is not a siloed design role. You will see your work implemented, tested, challenged, and refined in real-world environments.
The benefit of this environment is simple:
- You become a better engineer faster
- You understand not just how systems should work, but how they actually behave
- You gain exposure to integration, software, and commissioning, not just drawings
What you will be doing
- Producing full BMS design packages including control strategies, schedules, and panel inputs
- Developing software logic and graphics interfaces
- Supporting integration into client systems and wider infrastructure
- Working closely with commissioning teams through QA/QC stages
- Producing technical documentation, RFIs, and submittals
- Attending design and project meetings with stakeholders
Requirements
- Experience in BMS design within project environments
- Strong HVAC and controls knowledge
- Exposure to major BMS platforms (Trend, Tridium, Schneider, Siemens, ALC)
- Ability to develop and interpret control strategies
- Strong technical documentation capability
What you get
- End-to-end involvement (design * commissioning * handover)
- Exposure to high-spec data centre environments
- Opportunity to influence system architecture and integration
- Development into senior design or technical authority roles
Reality check
- Requires both design precision and practical awareness
- Fast-paced, technically demanding projects
