Who We Are
LMG has been at the forefront of innovation within the built environment since 1986.
We deliver integrated smart building technology projects and support services which provide sustainable long-term growth and profitability, as well as a diverse range of career opportunities; enabling both our people and our clients’ businesses to flourish, whilst setting a new standard for what is possible in the built environment.
As experts in smart building technology, we want to inspire new ways of thinking, deliver excellence and establish new models for doing business – with people, partners and customers – built on trust and shared values, rather than transactional relationships.
Alongside actively working to support the raising of standards in training and professional qualifications, we invest heavily in the development of our people. We give them access to continuous learning opportunities, leading to the freedom of working autonomously and making their own informed decisions, whilst benefiting from a supportive and collaborative working environment.
Job Summary
As a Smart Buildings Commissioning Engineer, you will play a key role in the delivery of Master Systems Integration (MSI) projects, with a particular focus on software development, data integration, data input, testing, and commissioning of smart building systems.
Working under the guidance of the Technical Services Manager, you will support the technical delivery of integrated smart building solutions, contributing to the development and implementation of data exchange mechanisms, APIs, system interfaces, and associated software solutions. You will be responsible for configuring, testing, validating, and commissioning integrated systems to ensure they operate reliably and in accordance with project and client requirements.
The role will involve coordinating the integration of data across a range of building systems, including Building Management Systems (BMS), Energy Management Systems (EMS), Space Management Systems (SMS), lighting controls, IoT sensors, and other connected technologies. You will ensure that data is accurately captured, structured, validated, and exchanged seamlessly with client-provided smart building platforms and digital environments.
You will work collaboratively with project, engineering, commissioning, and client teams, as well as technology providers and specialist partners, to identify and resolve integration issues, validate system performance, and support the successful delivery of projects.
Key areas of responsibility will include software and API development, data configuration and validation, system integration, testing and commissioning, fault finding, and technical documentation. You will also support quality assurance processes, ensuring compliance with agreed naming conventions, data standards, project specifications, and commissioning requirements.
