The role
Imperium designs and delivers Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) for high-end residential and complex building environments. Once a system is handed over, we stay accountable for keeping it stable, efficient and supportable, and that’s where you come in.
As a BEMS Service & Maintenance Engineer, you’ll look after live customer systems post-handover: planned maintenance, reactive fault response, optimisation, and small improvement works. You’ll work across varied BMS systems, interacting with panels, networks, field devices and building plant, and you’ll leave sites better than you found them.
What you’ll be doing
- Deliver planned maintenance visits: system health checks, alarms, schedules, trend reviews, backups, and reporting
- Diagnose faults and restore service across software, wiring/panels, devices, comms networks and plant interfaces
- Use trend data and building behaviour to improve stability, comfort, and energy performance
- Produce clear service reports and maintain accurate “as maintained” documentation and backups
- Communicate clearly with clients and facilities teams, setting expectations and keeping people informed
- Identify lifecycle improvement opportunities (repairs, upgrades, enhancements) and explain the value clearly
