Senior Schneider Engineer in London, Greater London

Location: London / South East
Salary: £50,000-£70,000 DOE
Working Pattern: Home-based / flexible working with travel to customer sites
Sector: BMS / Building Controls

We are looking for an experienced Schneider BMS Engineer to take on a senior technical role within a growing service operations team.

Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, you will act as the technical lead for an established team of around four BMS Service Engineers, supporting their development and providing technical guidance on more complex jobs.

This is not a purely management-based position. You will remain hands-on across service, fault-finding, commissioning and small works, while taking on increased responsibility for supporting the team and helping with its continued growth.

It is an excellent opportunity for a Senior BMS Engineer who is already considered the technical go-to within their current team and is ready to take the next step towards technical and operational leadership.

• Act as the technical lead for the BMS service engineering team

• Provide technical support and guidance to approximately four existing Service Engineers

• Support the development and progression of engineers within the team

• Act as the go-to Schneider specialist for complex technical issues and fault-finding

• Remain hands-on across BMS service, maintenance, commissioning and small works

• Diagnose and resolve complex BMS and controls issues

• Support the Operations Manager with the day-to-day technical running of the service team

• Assist engineers with technically challenging jobs and escalated issues

• Help maintain high technical and service standards across customer sites

• Support the continued growth of the service operation as major projects transition into their service phase

• Work across customer sites throughout London and the South East as required

The ideal candidate will have:

• Approximately 5-7+ years' experience within BMS / Building Controls

• Strong hands-on experience with Schneider BMS systems

• Good working knowledge of Schneider EcoStruxure / EBO

• Strong BMS service and fault-finding capability

• Experience with BMS commissioning and/or small works would be advantageous

• Good understanding of HVAC controls and building services

• The ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues

• Experience supporting, mentoring or providing technical guidance to other engineers

• Strong communication and customer-facing skills

• Ability to work independently and as part of a wider engineering team

Previous supervisory or management experience is not essential.

This role could suit an experienced Senior Engineer who is ready to step up and take greater responsibility for supporting and developing a team.

• £50,000-£70,000 basic salary DOE

• 25 days' annual leave + bank holidays

• Company pension scheme

• Paid overtime

• Business mileage and authorised expenses

• Laptop, mobile phone and necessary tools provided

• Home-based / flexible working with travel to customer sites

• Clear progression towards technical and operational leadership

This position offers the opportunity to progress into leadership without having to move away from hands-on engineering.

You'll have the opportunity to become the senior technical figure within an established team, mentor and develop other engineers and work closely with the Operations Manager as the service operation continues to grow.

With several major projects expected to transition into their service phase, there is also significant potential for the team to expand further.

If you're currently the engineer everyone rings when they're stuck, but haven't yet been given the title or opportunity to take that next step, this could be an excellent progression opportunity.
