Role Overview

This is a permanent, site-based BMS Automation Engineer role supporting a long-term project located in Crumlin, Dublin. The position offers a balance between hands-on service and maintenance work and a broader system-owner style responsibility, with involvement in sustaining, optimising, and developing the site's Building Management Systems.

The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining the reliability and performance of existing BMS infrastructure while also contributing to future projects, upgrades, and programming activities.

• Modify and upgrade BMS hardware and control panels as site requirements evolve

• Monitor and optimise energy performance using BMS analytics and data interpretation

• Act as a system owner for site BMS platforms, ensuring system stability and performance

• Support and participate in future automation and system upgrade projects

• Produce clear service and fault-finding reports following site visits

• Liaise with clients and site managers to explain findings and propose improvements
