You will be based in a centrally located office in historic Tunbridge Wells, which boasts excellent shopping, restaurants, open spaces, and cultural life. There are good transport links and free parking on site.
About the Role

In return, we offer an attractive benefits package, including a car allowance, a biannual retention payment, additional payments for committed service after three years, a competitive salary, and a range of professional development opportunities, including the exciting social care academy and routes for progression.
We want the best for the children of Kent, and this can only be delivered as a team effort with everyone playing their part. We are creating a culture that fosters excellence and collaboration – a place where social workers are empowered to be creative and share ideas and advice. With Ofsted rating our services as “good”, Kent County Council’s Children’s Services teams are working together, stronger than ever, to deliver strengthened services and improved outcomes.

<h1>Controls and Systems Engineer (BMS)</h1>

Join Cardiff Metropolitan University as a Controls and Systems Engineer (BMS) and play a crucial role in optimising our building environments for learning while minimising energy consumption. We are committed to achieving net zero, and we need someone dedicated to the cause. Our initiatives are multi-award winning, revealing utilisation and energy waste and doing something about it.

You'll be responsible for actively managing, monitoring, and optimising the University's Building Management Systems. You’ll reveal and address issues with our different systems (primarily Trend), and develop the use of new technologies to adapt and automate legacy systems, to improve environmental quality, reduce energy use and support our net zero carbon commitments across the estate.

</ul>
What you’ll bring
With demonstrable experience of working with Trend and other BMS systems, you’ll have a solid understanding of building systems and BMS architecture, software, and hardware controls. Your analytical skills will allow you to interpret system data, identify the cause of faults, and deliver effective solutions. Your creative side will identify, design and implement new solutions where we currently lack controls.&nbsp;
Additionally, you'll:
<ul>
<li>Hold a recognised technical qualification (e.g., City &amp; Guilds, ONC, HNC) in building services, electrical engineering, controls engineering, or a related discipline.</li>
<li>Possess significant experience in fault finding and resolving BMS-related plant and equipment issues.</li>
<li>Have knowledge of energy management principles and how BMS can support carbon reduction.</li>
<li>Have a demonstrable personal commitment to addressing climate change.</li>
</ul>
Why join Cardiff Metropolitan University?
