Senior Application Systems Engineer – Europe (UK-Based)
This role requires 50% travel across EU
Overview
We are hiring a Senior Application Systems Engineer based in the UK to support building automation and energy management projects across Europe.
This is a hands-on role responsible for developing scalable system designs and validating them in the field. The position bridges engineering, sales, and delivery to ensure solutions are technically sound and deployable across multi-site environments.
This role requires frequent travel (>50%) across Europe for site surveys, design validation, and project execution support.
What You’ll Do
- Develop system architectures and application designs for BMS/EMS solutions
- Perform on-site surveys and technical assessments across multiple countries
- Translate field conditions into clear, buildable designs and defined scopes
- Lead development of:
- Proposals
- Statements of Work (SOW)
- Network and integration diagrams
- Define integrations across:
- HVAC systems
- Refrigeration controls
- Lighting systems
- Energy and submetering
- Design and validate protocol integrations (BACnet, Modbus, RS-485, IP)
- Identify and mitigate design risks and constructability issues early
- Support and guide commissioning and technical handoff to operations
Required Experience
- Proven experience in building automation (BMS) and/or energy management systems
- Strong knowledge of:
- HVAC and refrigeration control systems
- Electrical distribution and submetering
- Field integration protocols (BACnet, Modbus, IP networking)
- Hands-on experience with:
- Niagara / JACE platforms
- Honeywell or equivalent BMS systems
- Experience delivering multi-site rollouts (retail/QSR/commercial)
- Ability to design and support edge-to-cloud architectures
- Demonstrated experience performing site surveys and translating findings into system design
- Ability to operate across engineering, sales, and field execution teams
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively (>50%) across Europe
Additional Experience (Preferred)
- Experience with:
- Johnson Controls (JCI) systems
- Schneider Electric BMS / energy platforms
What We’re Looking For
- Field-first mindset—designs must work in real installations
- Strong communicator, comfortable leading technical discussions with customers and internal teams
- Detail-oriented with focus on getting it right before deployment
- Able to operate independently across multiple countries and projects
Location
- Based in the United Kingdom
- Must be able to travel freely across Europe
Why This Role
This role ensures that what is designed and sold is:
- Technically correct
- Deployable without rework
- Scalable across multiple sites and regions
If you’ve lived in both design and field execution, we should talk.
