I'm currently working with a highly regarded building services consultancy that's looking to appoint a Digital / Smart Buildings Engineer (Controls & BMS). This is a standout opportunity for someone passionate about smart technology and the future of the built environment to work across an impressive project portfolio.

You’ll be joining a specialist Digital Buildings team, contributing to projects across Commercial, Residential, Hotels, Retail, Industrial facilities, Laboratories, and Data Centres.

• Acting as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor across BMS and smart building solutions
• Facilitating “blue‑sky” and aspirational workshops with clients and key stakeholders
• Supporting marketing initiatives and business development activities where required
• Maintaining quality standards across projects and actively participating in ongoing professional development

This role would suit an engineer who enjoys both the technical and consultative sides of smart buildings.

• A relevant tertiary qualification in Engineering (or equivalent training and accreditation)
• 3+ years’ experience in BMS, controls engineering, or smart buildings
• Proven experience in building controls design, system integration, and specification writing
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messages to different audiences
• Solid knowledge of BMS platforms and confidence using tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio

• Be at the forefront of digital and smart building innovation
• Work within a collaborative, forward‑thinking consultancy where ideas are encouraged and valued
• Exposure to complex, high‑profile projects across multiple sectors
• Ongoing professional development and genuine career progression pathways
• A supportive team culture built on collaboration, respect, and wellbeing
