BEMS Design Engineer

This role is responsible for the design and configuration of intelligent Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS), including control narratives, control strategy software and front-end graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for end users.

The BEMS will monitor and control Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) HVAC plant and associated building services-such as air conditioning, and water systems-to improve energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and operational performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with project stakeholders (primarily, the design manager and project team) to capture client requirements and translate them into functional BEMS design and operating strategies
• Identify design gaps, ambiguities, or conflicts and raise requests for information (RFIs) through the appropriate project channels
• Produce clear and structured control narrative documents detailing system functionality, sequences of operation, and control procedures.
• Program BEMS controllers and devices to ensure coordinated operation across building systems, optimising performance and reducing energy consumption.
• Develop and configure intuitive, user-friendly graphical interfaces that enable end users to monitor and interact effectively with the BEMS.
• Provide technical documentation for interfacing with third party systems including connection baud rates and list of registers
• Produce clear testing documentation for software factory acceptance testing (SFATs) and site acceptance testing (SATs)
• Run or provide assistance for software factory acceptance testing
• Perform internal testing to verify correct system operation, diagnose faults, and implement corrective actions as required.
• Maintain accurate, up to date records of designs works, revisions, and modifications, ensuring robust document control throughout the project lifecycle.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of standard control strategies, templates, and internal design tools.
• Provide peer review and informal technical guidance to junior team members, where appropriate.

The above list of duties is not exhaustive and may be subject to change in line with business needs

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to troubleshoot issues methodically.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with internal teams and engage with clients/end users.
• Strong attention to detail and an organised approach to documenting work and following procedures.

Preferred Experience (training will be provided)

• Exposure to Building Automation / BEMS platforms such as Trend, Distech, and Tridium (Niagara), ALC, Saia Burgess, CODESYS Programming Platform, Phoenix Contact Controllers, WAGO Controllers would be a significant advantage.
• Basic knowledge of programming concepts and building technology systems, including front-end GUI development/configuration.
• Familiarity with CAD drawings and the production of control narratives and technical documentation
• Understanding of HVAC plant and building services (AHUs, FCUs, chilled water, boilers, pumps, valves, sensors, etc.)

The Project Engineer supports Project Managers in the delivery of BMS projects by assisting with design review coordination, technical submittals, project documentation, and general project administration. The role helps ensure deliverables are issued on time, trackers are maintained, and closeout documentation is completed to the required standard. This position is a development step towards Project Manager and provides exposure to planning, stakeholder coordination, and project governance under the direction of a PM.

This role involves delivering high-quality after-sales support and field service activities such as commissioning across a range of BMS and HVAC control systems throughout the Nordics. The successful candidate will be responsible for fault finding, diagnostics, reactive callouts, system optimisation, repairs, maintenance and technical support activities while ensuring minimal disruption to client operations.

This role involves delivering maintenance support and field service activities across a range of BMS and HVAC control systems with the majority of work in Dublin and the general Leinster region but will also include occasional travel throughout Ireland.

This role involves being able to work in a safe, consistent & timely manner on BEMS commissioning across European projects. Knowledge of Building Automation Systems, including expertise in one or more of the following Trend, Distech, Tridium or other industry-standard platforms.
