This is a highly specialised role that sits at the intersection of traditional mechanical systems, modern IT infrastructure and data-driven automation.

As a Smart Building Integration and Commissioning Specialist, you will be the technical pivot between mechanical hardware and digital intelligence.

This is not a “standard BMS role”; we are looking for an experienced hands on systems architect who can bridge the gap between HVAC, Scada, Lighting, AV, Security and enterprise IT networks. You will be responsible for the end-to-end commissioning of complex, multi-protocol integration platforms, ensuring that disparate systems communicate flawlessly to create a truly “smart digital” environment.

OKTO provides industry leading investment per employee in personal development and on-going training.

We are committed to employ the best qualified and highest certified technical team in the UK.

The successful applicant will enjoy £4,000.00 per annum investment in their own personal development.

  • Network & IT Infrastructure:Deploy and manage building networks, including IP addressing, VLAN configuration, firewall navigation, and wireless sensor integration.
  • Advanced Troubleshooting:Use lateral thinking to solve complex “system-of-systems” failures where hardware, firmware and software layers intersect.
  • Software Development/Scripting:Utilise basic scripting (Python, Javascript, or similar) to automate data flows or create custom logic for non-standard integrations.
  • Client Consultation:Act as the technical lead on-site, explaining complex digital concepts to stakeholders and ensuring the final “user experience” of the building meets design intent.

Technical Requirements:

  • Software Mastery:Expert-level proficiency in at least 2 major BMS/BEMS platforms and a deep understanding of Tridium Niagara (N4) or equivalent middleware.
  • IT Literacy:Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, Subnetting, DNS, Cyber Security Protocols). Experience with SQL databases or API (REST/JSON) integration is a significant advantage.
  • Protocol Expertise:Ability to “sniff” and analyse packets (using tools like wireshark) to diagnose communication issues between diverse hardware brands.
  • Logical Mindset:A proven ability to approach problems from a first-principles perspective, identifying the root cause of issues in high-pressure environments.

Personal Attributes:

  • The “Hybrid” Engineer:You are equally comfortable with a multimeter in a control panel as you are with a CLI (Command Line Interface) on a server.
  • Autonomous Worker:As a member of a small, elite team, you must be self-starting and capable of managing your own project timelines without heavy oversight.
  • Continuous Learner:The smart building landscape changes monthly; you must be passionate about staying ahead of the curve in IoT and AI-driven automation.
