Job Description
BMS Service Engineer (Static)
East London | Up to £55,000 + Pension + Healthcare + Training & Development
Want to work on a large, technically interesting estate without spending your week driving from site to site?
This opportunity gives you the chance to take ownership of a major East London campus, supporting multiple buildings for a single client while remaining based at one location. If you're currently covering a busy service patch across London, this could offer a welcome change of pace without sacrificing technical challenge or variety.
What you'll actually be doing
You'll be responsible for maintaining, fault-finding and optimising BMS systems across a multi-building campus environment.
The site is predominantly Trend-based, making it an excellent opportunity for an engineer with strong Trend service experience. Knowledge of Tridium/Niagara would be advantageous, but it is not essential.
What makes this role particularly appealing is the variety. Alongside planned and reactive maintenance, you'll also be involved in small remedial works, upgrades and minor projects, allowing you to see improvements through from concept to completion rather than simply identifying issues and passing them elsewhere.
You'll be:
- Diagnosing and resolving BMS faults across the estate
- Carrying out maintenance and system optimisation activities
- Delivering small remedial works and minor project upgrades
- Supporting energy reduction and building performance initiatives
- Building strong relationships with on-site stakeholders
Why this move could be better
You'll be based on a sizeable campus environment where you'll build a genuine understanding of the buildings, systems and stakeholders you support, rather than arriving on site, fixing a fault and moving on to the next call. Your work will be visible, valued and have a direct impact on building performance, energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
You'll benefit from:
- Salary up to £55,000
- Pension scheme
- Healthcare package
- Ongoing training and development
- Static position with minimal travel
- Long-term ownership of a large and varied estate
The challenge
This is a large estate with multiple buildings, varied building services systems and a diverse range of end users. Success comes from understanding how the site operates as a whole rather than treating each issue as a standalone fault.
The engineer who thrives here will take ownership, identify opportunities for improvement and go beyond reactive maintenance to drive long-term system performance and reliability. Your contribution will be highly visible because you'll see the direct impact of the improvements you deliver across the campus.
What you'll gain over the next few years
This role offers the chance to become a key technical figure within a sizeable estate while continuing to develop your expertise in building controls.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Deepen your knowledge of large-scale Trend systems
- Gain further exposure to Tridium and wider smart building technologies
- Develop project delivery experience alongside your service responsibilities
- Build long-term relationships with stakeholders and take genuine ownership of a site
For the right engineer, this offers significantly more variety, ownership and technical development than a traditional patch-based service role.
Essentials
- Experience as a BMS Service Engineer
- Strong knowledge of Trend systems
- Proven fault-finding and maintenance experience
- Ability to work independently and build strong client relationships
- Tridium knowledge beneficial but not essential
