Looking to work on some of the UK's most complex and high-profile BMS projects?
BMSI has an exciting opportunity for a BMS Design Engineer to join our Aviation team based at Heathrow Airport.
This role would suit an experienced BMS Design Engineer, but we'd also welcome applications from experienced BMS Support, Service or Commissioning Engineers who are looking to move into a design-focused role. If you have a solid background in Building Management Systems and are looking for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
Working on a wide range of airport infrastructure projects, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality BMS designs that support one of the world's busiest airports. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, project teams and Heathrow stakeholders, contributing to projects that are both technically challenging and highly visible.
Your Role
As a BMS Design Engineer, you'll be responsible for producing robust, practical and compliant BMS designs across all stages of a project lifecycle, ensuring systems are delivered to the highest standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop complete BMS design solutions from concept through to installation
- Interpret mechanical, electrical and HVAC specifications and drawings
- Design in accordance with Heathrow Airport (HAL) standards and protocols
- Produce and maintain points lists, equipment schedules, valve schedules and O&M documentation
- Specify BMS hardware, software and field equipment
- Liaise with panel manufacturers and review panel schematics
- Attend factory acceptance tests where required
- Support projects throughout the design lifecycle
- Ensure designs are delivered on time and to the required standards
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
