Job Description

Are you a technically minded sales professional with a deep understanding for smart building solutions and Building Management Systems? We're seeking a dynamic and driven BMS & Smart Building Sales Engineer to join a forward-thinking systems integrator, supporting ambitious growth plans through strategic sales, expert technical consultation, and first-class client service.

This is an outstanding opportunity to play a key role in shaping how intelligent buildings operate, working across a diverse customer base—from M&E contractors and FM providers to retailers and consultants.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Identify and engage with prospective clients across construction, FM, M&E, retail, and consultancy sectors to promote advanced BMS and smart building solutions
  • Lead the end-to-end sales process, from initial outreach through to solution presentation and closing, ensuring alignment with customer requirements and project outcomes
  • Interpret mechanical and electrical specifications, schematics, and tender documentation to produce accurate cost estimates and quotations for BMS installations
  • Prepare competitive proposals, bids, and tenders that reflect the technical scope, labour, and materials, tailored to each client's operational and energy objectives
  • Conduct on-site assessments and technical feasibility studies to determine optimal system configurations and ensure effective integration
  • Deliver technical support and consultancy to clients, assisting them in understanding BMS functionality, interoperability, and performance outcomes
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, and project delivery teams to ensure sales commitments are technically deliverable and commercially viable
  • Act as a liaison between sales and engineering, translating client expectations into technical specifications and supporting project delivery teams to maintain continuity and compliance
  • Stay informed on product developments, system architecture innovations, and emerging market trends—particularly around Distech, Trend, Siemens, Tridium, Delta, iSMA, and cloud-integrated solutions
  • Support internal training and client onboarding activities by delivering product demonstrations and tailored knowledge-sharing sessions
  • Provide regular sales performance updates, pipeline forecasts, and market insights to the commercial leadership team

Skills Required:

  • Previous experience in technical sales within the BMS, controls, or HVAC sector, ideally with a background in estimation and system design
  • Solid understanding of smart building technologies, energy management systems, and IoT integration within the built environment
  • Familiarity with relevant hardware and software platforms used in modern BMS installations, including open protocol systems and cloud-based analytics
  • Strong commercial acumen, with an ability to negotiate, influence, and build rapport across diverse stakeholder groups
  • Organised, self-motivated, and capable of managing multiple opportunities in a fast-paced, client-driven environment
  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively within cross-functional project and sales teams

 

You’ll be reporting into the senior leadership team and collaborating closely with both engineering and delivery teams – ensuring client satisfaction is front and centre from pre-sales through to final handover.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on technical problem-solving and is passionate about helping clients make smarter, more sustainable buildings.
