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
