Are you an electrically biased engineer with experience across Building Management Systems, looking for a role where you can genuinely become a technical specialist rather than just another maintenance technician?

This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly technical controls environment within a globally recognised institution, where your development is actively invested in, your expertise is valued, and your progression is genuinely mapped out.

This is a fantastic chance to become part of a prestigious organisation renowned for engineering excellence, research, and innovation. Supporting a large and diverse estate, you will play a key role in maintaining and optimising critical building infrastructure that underpins world-class teaching and research.

*Work hands-on with TREND and Niagara 4 systems to monitor and optimise performance

*Support and supervise external contractors when required
*Maintain accurate system data, backups, and asset information

The Person
