Are you an aspiring engineer with an interest in smart buildings, building controls and sustainability? Looking to build your technical skills while working on projects that make a real difference to energy efficiency and carbon reduction?
We’re looking for a Regional Technical Assistant to join our team and support the development of Building Management System (BMS) upgrades, HVAC controls improvements, energy optimisation projects and smart building solutions.
Working alongside experienced engineers and regional technical managers, you’ll gain hands-on experience through site surveys, technical assessments, system optimisation and the development of engineering solutions for a diverse customer portfolio.
This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate or early-career engineer looking to develop their expertise, learn from industry professionals and build a long-term career in building services and smart building technology.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting technical surveys of existing Building Management Systems (BMS), HVAC equipment and building control systems.
- Identifying opportunities to improve building performance, energy efficiency, reliability and occupant comfort.
- Assisting with the development of BMS upgrades, retrofit solutions and control strategies.
- Reviewing technical drawings, schematics and building layouts.
- Supporting energy assessments, trend analysis and system performance reviews.
- Helping prepare technical reports, specifications, scopes of work and customer proposals.
- Attending customer sites and supporting technical discussions with customers and colleagues.
- Learning how smart building technologies and improved controls can reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions and operating costs.
- Working closely with experienced engineers while developing your technical and commercial knowledge.
- Following company quality standards, procedures and health and safety requirements.
What We’re Looking For
We’re interested in someone who is enthusiastic about engineering, enjoys solving problems and is keen to learn.
You’ll ideally have:
- A degree, HNC/HND, apprenticeship or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Building Services, Controls Engineering, Energy Engineering or a related discipline.
- A genuine interest in BMS, HVAC controls, energy management and smart building technologies.
- Good analytical, problem-solving and organisational skills.
- Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-focused approach.
- Confidence working independently and as part of a team.
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office.
- A willingness to develop both technical and commercial skills.
- A full UK driving licence, or a willingness to obtain one.
- A basic understanding of HVAC equipment, electrical control systems or building services.
- An awareness of energy efficiency and sustainability principles.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD.
Previous industry experience is not essential for the right candidate who demonstrates a strong willingness to learn and develop.
What We Offer
- Full training and ongoing technical development.
- Support and mentoring from experienced engineers and technical managers.
- Exposure to real-world engineering projects and customer solutions.
- The opportunity to work with modern building controls, smart building technologies and energy optimisation systems.
