Bms Controls Engineer

BMS Engineer Location: Gatwick (Site‑based) Sector: Built Environment / Energy / Estates Salary: Competitive + package Mech Electrics is recruiting a BMS Engineer to support building‑services and energy works at Gatwick. You’ll work on BMS installations, integration and optimisation across complex live buildings, supporting energy efficiency and decarbonisation initiatives. About Us – Mech Electrics Mech Electrics is a specialist recruitment partner operating across the built environment, supporting MEP contractors and energy‑delivery organisations working on complex, operational buildings and estates. We work closely with long‑standing clients delivering mechanical, electrical and energy upgrades across major sites, and have been appointed to manage recruitment for this Gatwick‑based BMS engineering role. The Opportunity This role is based on the Gatwick estate, supporting building‑services and energy projects across a diverse portfolio of operational buildings. The focus is on: * BMS installation, upgrades and integration * Supporting energy efficiency and decarbonisation works * Ensuring systems operate reliably within a live, high‑compliance environment This is not a call‑out‑heavy service role. It’s a planned, delivery‑focused BMS position, working alongside MEP delivery teams and estates stakeholders. The Role As a BMS Engineer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring building‑management systems operate correctly, efficiently and in line with site requirements. Typical responsibilities will include: * Installation, configuration and commissioning of BMS systems * Modifying and optimising existing BMS installations * Fault‑finding and system diagnostics * Supporting integration with mechanical and electrical plant * Working alongside Project Managers and Site Managers * Ensuring compliance with site processes and permit systems * Producing accurate commissioning and handover documentation * Supporting energy optimisation and operational improvements You’ll be trusted to work methodically and professionally in a regulated, live environment. What We’re Looking For This role suits a BMS Engineer who is technically confident and comfortable working on large, operational estates. * Proven experience as a BMS Engineer * Experience installing, commissioning or supporting BMS systems * Familiarity with common BMS platforms (e.g. Trend, Schneider, Siemens, Honeywell or similar) * Comfortable working within live buildings and controlled environments * Strong fault‑finding and problem‑solving skills * Able to work independently and as part of a wider delivery team * Clear communication and documentation skills * Full UK driving licence (Security clearance or site passes may be required for Gatwick access.) Why This Role Stands Out * Long‑term work on a major operational estate (in excess of 4 years) * Structured, delivery‑led environment (not reactive call‑outs) * Exposure to energy efficiency and decarbonisation programmes * Opportunity to work as part of an established site team * Stable role with a reputable delivery partner Interested?
