Job Description:

BMS Commissioning Engineer
London Projects
£50,000 to £60,000 + £6,825 Car Allowance + Bonus + Benefits

If you can commission a BMS but want more ownership than simply working through a points list, this role gives you involvement from technical problem-solving through to final handover. You’ll work on BMS projects across London, commissioning control systems while also getting involved in software and graphics modification, BACnet, Modbus and M-Bus integrations, technical documentation, witnessing and client demonstration. It’s a role for an experienced BMS Commissioning Engineer who can work independently on site, but values having a wider commissioning team around them when a project needs additional technical input. Alongside the £50,000 to £60,000 salary, you’ll receive a £6,825 car allowance, performance-related bonus, private healthcare and a pension starting at 7.5%.

What you'll actually be doing and why it matters
You’ll take responsibility for the commissioning activities allocated to you and help turn the approved BMS design into a working, tested system ready for handover. That includes point-to-point, point-to-software and point-to-graphics commissioning, but the scope goes further. You could be modifying control strategies, software and graphics, commissioning third-party integrations across BACnet, Modbus and M-Bus, resolving engineering queries and maintaining the technical documentation behind the commissioned system. As projects move towards completion, you’ll keep witnessing packs and commissioning information up to date, demonstrate the system to the client and support a diligent handover. You may also carry out site surveys, produce recommendations, support junior engineers and assist with subcontractor management where required.

Why this role could be better
The difference here is breadth. If your current position keeps commissioning, software, documentation and handover relatively separate, this role offers the opportunity to work across more of that process. You won’t just prove that the field devices work. You can get involved with the underlying control strategy, software and graphics, open-protocol integrations, technical documentation and the eventual demonstration of the finished system. There is breadth on the controls side too, with the team looking for experience across Trend, Tridium, Schneider or ALC, together with knowledge of other Niagara-based systems.
For an experienced BMS Commissioning Engineer, that creates an opportunity to build on your existing platform knowledge while broadening the project experience around it. Essentials You’ll need proven BMS commissioning experience and hands-on knowledge of at least one of the following:
• Trend
• Tridium
• Schneider
• ALC You’ll also need knowledge of Niagara-based systems, a solid understanding of HVAC and the ability to interpret and modify existing BMS control strategies. Electrical competence is required, as is the ability to work independently on site, organise your workload and communicate effectively with project managers, subcontractors and clients.

The challenges You’ll be working across project sites around London and will need to manage changing site requirements, programme pressures and coordination with other trades. You’re also accountable for more than getting the system running. Documentation needs to reflect what has actually been commissioned, technical issues need to be raised and followed through, backups need to be maintained and witnessing information needs to be ready for sign-off. You’ll be expected to work safely within RAMS and site procedures and complete dynamic risk assessments where required.

Your development
This role provides opportunities to extend your experience beyond the core commissioning activities you may already be comfortable with. That could mean deeper involvement in BMS software and graphics, open-protocol integrations, technical documentation, surveys and recommendations, or the client-facing stages of demonstration and handover. You may also have opportunities to support and supervise junior engineers, building experience in technical guidance alongside your own project delivery. Relevant training courses are available as required, with commercial-awareness training also provided where needed.

Package on offer

• £50,000 to £58,000 basic salary
• £6,825 annual car allowance
• Company performance-related bonus scheme
• 7.5% pension, increasing to 8.75% after five years’ service and 10% after ten years
• 25 days’ annual leave, increasing with tenure

Plus:

• Opportunity to buy or sell additional holiday
• Private healthcare
• Competitive sick pay
• Cycle to Work scheme up to £2,000
• EV salary sacrifice scheme
• Interest-free EV charger loan up to £1,000
