Senior Schneider Engineer

Senior Schneider BMS Engineer / Supervisor

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

The Opportunity

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.

Key Responsibilities

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

Skills & Experience

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.

Package & Benefits

£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

Why Join?

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
