An excellent opportunity for a senior BMS / Controls professional to step into a lead role with a rapidly growing, market-leading contractor delivering mission-critical projects across Europe. This role is suited to someone who has operated at the interface between main contractor, client, MEP teams, and BMS vendors, and is comfortable owning the BMS strategy, delivery, and commissioning across complex, high-value projects.

You’ll be joining a business with a strong pipeline of data centre, pharmaceutical, industrial, and high-tech builds across Germany, the UK, and the EU. The position offers long-term security, exposure to flagship projects, and clear progression into regional / EMEA leadership.

• Leading technical discussions with consultants, client teams, and internal delivery teams
• Managing RFIs, design queries, change control, and technical risk
• Ensuring full integration of BMS with M&E systems (HVAC, electrical, life safety, EPMS, etc.)
• Overseeing QA/QC, inspections, snagging, and documentation
• Supporting and leading commissioning, IST, and final client handover
• Providing guidance and leadership to site teams and junior package managers

As a BMS Lead, You will Have:

• Strong BMS / Controls background with proven site delivery experience
• Experience working on data centres, pharma, industrial, or other mission-critical projects
• Background from a main contractor, MEP contractor, BMS vendor, or specialist integrator
• Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and holding authority on technical matters
• Willingness to be site-based and travel / stay away as projects require
• Strong communication, coordination, and leadership skills
• EU right to work preferred
