The team also has a strong pipeline across defence, healthcare and NHS projects, education, commercial offices and other complex building environments.There is also the opportunity to contribute to international projects, including work across the Middle East, which is delivered from the UK team.The variety of projects means engineers can gain exposure to different building types, control strategies and engineering challenges rather than being restricted to a single sector.About YouThe business is open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds.

Consultancy experience would be beneficial but is not essential, and engineers currently working for BEMS contractors, system integrators or controls specialists will be considered.The key requirement is genuine understanding of BEMS and controls design.Experience with manufacturers such as Trend, Tridium/Niagara, Siemens, Schneider, Honeywell or similar platforms is useful, but specific manufacturer experience is not essential.

The team is more interested in someone who understands the underlying principles of controls design and can develop a solution from first principles.For example, someone with several years of experience producing specifications, control strategies and design documentation would be consider
