About the role:

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their technical skills within a growing smart building technology business.

Working closely with our Senior Engineers, you will support the preparation of technical applications, project tendering and lighting control solutions across a wide range of commercial projects. The role combines technical understanding with client communication, giving you exposure to both the engineering and commercial sides of the business.

We are looking for someone who is proactive, organised and naturally curious, someone who enjoys solving problems, building relationships and learning through hands‑on experience.

No two projects are the same, which means this role offers plenty of variety, responsibility and opportunities to grow.
