About Open Control Solutions
Open Control Solutions is a growing Building Energy Management Systems (BeMS) and controls company primarily based in the North of England
We work with customers to support, improve and develop building control systems, helping buildings operate efficiently, reliably and effectively.
We are looking for a Service & Support Engineer to join our team. This role would suit someone who already has experience in BMS/BeMS service and support, as well as someone from an HVAC, electrical, controls or control-panel background who is looking to develop a career within the BEMS industry.
The most important things to us are technical ability, the right attitude and a willingness to learn.
About the Role
Working primarily across West Yorkshire and the surrounding areas, you will become part of an experienced controls team supporting customers and their building management systems.
The role will involve a mixture of planned maintenance, fault finding, technical support and small works, with the opportunity to develop your knowledge of BEMS and building controls.
Depending on your existing experience, your responsibilities will include:
Carrying out planned preventative maintenance on BEMS and control systems
Attending reactive service calls and diagnosing faults
Fault finding on electrical and control systems
Working with HVAC plant and associated control systems
Checking controllers, sensors, actuators and other field devices
Reading and understanding electrical and control-panel schematics
Carrying out small repairs, modifications and upgrades
Supporting commissioning and system improvements
Identifying opportunities to improve system performance and energy efficiency
Providing professional technical support to customers
Completing service reports and maintaining accurate system documentation
Working alongside the wider engineering team on projects and customer requirements
Who We're Looking For
We are open to candidates at different stages of their careers.

At Open Control Solutions, we recognise that good engineers don't all come from the same background.
We provide an individual training and development plan designed around your existing experience and the skills you need to progress within the BEMS industry.
For the right person, this could include developing skills in:
BEMS service and maintenance
HVAC controls
Control strategies
BMS controllers and field devices
