Great people. Great Engineers.

Start your career working on smart, connected buildings. Combine digital systems, controls and communications to help buildings run better, smarter and more efficiently from day one.

What are controls & communications?

Controls (BMS) and ICT bring buildings to life.

• Controls (BMS) manage how building systems operate — from HVAC and energy to performance optimisation
• ICT & Communications provide the digital infrastructure — networks, data, cloud and connectivity that support modern buildings

Together, they create smart, data-driven environments that are efficient, resilient and future-ready.

What the controls & communications team does

Our team designs smart building systems that integrate across disciplines, spanning BMS, ICT, networks, data, cloud and cybersecurity.

You’ll work with specialists across mechanical, electrical, sustainability and security to deliver fully integrated solutions.

Why this role

• Work on live projects, from local builds to complex developments
• Learn by doing with coaching, modelling and site exposure
• Share ideas that travel across teams and get used

What you’ll do

As a graduate, you’ll support the design and delivery of smart building systems, including:

• BMS design, audits and optimisation
• ICT infrastructure (networks, wireless, cloud)
• reviewing designs, documentation and contractor proposals
• testing and commissioning activities
• working with engineers and clients to deliver practical solutions
• coordinating with other disciplines to ensure system integration
• supporting data, performance and cybersecurity outcomes

How we’ll support you

• A dedicated buddy and mentor, plus regular check ins with senior leaders
• Onsite and virtual workshops, technical training and knowledge shares
• Rotation opportunities across disciplines to broaden your skills
• Practical feedback loops so you can see progress fast

What you’ll get

• Early ownership on visible projects with coaching when you need it
