Your Projects:

You will be involved in optimising existing BMS control strategies, upgrading outdated BMS controls and network infrastructure, and integrating low-carbon solutions such as Solar PV, heat pumps, and hydronic system optimisation.

If you are a BMS engineer passionate about contributing to the Net Zero goal, this role is perfect for you!

The Role:

As a BMS Optimisation Project Engineer, you will collaborate closely with our team on various BMS energy-saving initiatives, focusing on project implementation.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct detailed surveys of BMS and HVAC equipment to identify energy conservation opportunities.
