About the Company
Our client is an established North West-based specialist in Building Management Systems (BMS) and electrical controls, delivering installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance projects across the UK. The business provides electrical controls and integration solutions across commercial, retail, healthcare and other sectors, including lighting and air conditioning controls, plantroom electrical installations and bespoke control panels.

With a growing workload and a focus on technical development, our client is seeking a motivated electrical professional interested in progressing their career within the BMS and controls industry.
