Bms Engineer

Description:

Building Management Systems Engineer | London

We’re supporting a high-profile site in the appointment of a BMS Engineer to play a key role in the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and optimisation of building management and control systems within a technically complex environment.

In this position, you’ll take ownership of both planned preventative maintenance and reactive works across the on-site BMS, ensuring systems are operating efficiently, safely, and in line with client and legislative requirements. You’ll regularly monitor system performance, alarm conditions, and environmental controls, carrying out diagnostics and system checks to ensure optimal operation across critical and specialist areas.

Acting as a technical point of contact, you’ll work closely with site-based engineering teams and client stakeholders, supporting day-to-day operations as well as emergency procedures when required. A strong focus will be placed on change control, with responsibility for ensuring documentation, software, and hardware changes are correctly managed, communicated, and approved. You’ll also be involved in reviewing alarm management strategies, supporting compliance activities, and carrying out technical and quality audits to ensure assets and operations meet both statutory and operational standards.

The role also involves hands-on responsibility for inspections, testing, maintenance, fault finding, and modification of mechanical and electrical plant, distribution systems, and associated equipment. You’ll be expected to report into Engineering Leadership and the BMS / Controls Manager, escalating matters relating to operational, regulatory, or statutory compliance as appropriate.
