Optimisation Engineer (London)
Building Optimisation EngineerTrend & Tridium (Niagara) SpecialistNot Just Another BMS Role. Build Smarter Buildings. Shape the Future.
You're the engineer people call when buildings aren't performing as they should.
You know that great Building Management Systems don't just keep buildings running—they make them smarter, more efficient, more sustainable and more comfortable for the people inside them.
If you're passionate about getting the very best from Trend and Tridium Niagara systems, enjoy solving complex engineering challenges and want to work on projects that genuinely make a difference, we'd like to hear from you.
Our client is helping organisations transform the way their buildings perform. From commercial offices and healthcare facilities to education, and critical environments, we deliver intelligent optimisation that reduces energy consumption, lowers carbon emissions and improves operational performance.
We're looking for engineers who don't just maintain systems—they improve them.
What You'll Be Doing
No two days are the same.
One day you'll be analysing building performance data to uncover hidden energy savings. The next, you'll be redesigning control strategies, commissioning plant, integrating smart technologies or helping a customer achieve ambitious Net Zero targets.
You'll have the freedom to make recommendations, challenge conventional thinking and deliver solutions that create measurable results.
Your work will include:
- Optimising Trend and Tridium Niagara Building Management Systems.
- Developing intelligent control strategies that improve performance and reduce energy use.
- Fine-tuning HVAC systems for maximum efficiency and occupant comfort.
- Creating intuitive graphics, dashboards and performance reporting.
- Diagnosing complex BMS and controls issues.
- Supporting customers with technical expertise and trusted advice.
- Delivering continuous improvement rather than reactive maintenance.
- Working with the latest smart building technologies and open protocols.
If you enjoy engineering that's analytical, challenging and rewarding, you'll feel right at home.
