About the role
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Senior BMS Engineer to join the University’s Carbon and Energy team. You will be responsible for the overall management of the University Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Controls. You will ensure any design, specification, site supervision, and financial cost control for any works carried out on the BMS and Building Controls, whether as major or minor works projects or maintenance support contracts, meet the requirements of the University and are within any financial constraints.
The BMS controls over 125 buildings across the University’s estate, comprising diverse building types such as science, office, library, leisure centre with swimming pool, Passivhaus, catering, and lecture theatres. This includes buildings on the hospital sites and several hall of residence properties, providing optimum working and living conditions for over 3,000 staff and 20,000 students. The BMS systems comprise 2 IT Services hosted BMS Servers, 40+ Web Based interfaces, 370+ master controllers, 280+ sub controllers, and 23,000+ field devices.
The role includes direct line management of internal BMS engineers and external contractors.
About you
You should have a degree in a related subject (e.g., Electrical or Building Services Engineering) or an equivalent level of knowledge and analytical skills gained through extensive work experience. Consideration will be given to candidates with HNC qualifications who possess extensive relevant experience in a similar position and can demonstrate the depth of knowledge necessary. Extensive knowledge/experience on building controls in a proprietary “controls house” environment relating to a BMS (preferably Schneider/Satchwell) is a must.
The role would suit someone with the ability to operate and manage specialist IT systems related to BMS operation and financial control systems, encompassed with excellent technical problem-solving skills, strong negotiating, and influencing skills.
