Are you a technically minded sales professional with a deep understanding for smart building solutions and Building Management Systems? We're seeking a dynamic and driven BMS & Smart Building Sales Engineer to join a forward-thinking systems integrator, supporting ambitious growth plans through strategic sales, expert technical consultation, and first-class client service.

This is an outstanding opportunity to play a key role in shaping how intelligent buildings operate, working across a diverse customer base—from M&E contractors and FM providers to retailers and consultants.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Identify and engage with prospective clients across construction, FM, M&E, retail, and consultancy sectors to promote advanced BMS and smart building solutions

  • Lead the end-to-end sales process, from initial outreach through to solution presentation and closing, ensuring alignment with customer requirements and project outcomes

  • Interpret mechanical and electrical specifications, schematics, and tender documentation to produce accurate cost estimates and quotations for BMS installations

  • Prepare competitive proposals, bids, and tenders that reflect the technical scope, labour, and materials, tailored to each client's operational and energy objectives

  • Conduct on-site assessments and technical feasibility studies to determine optimal system configurations and ensure effective integration

  • Deliver technical support and consultancy to clients, assisting them in understanding BMS functionality, interoperability, and performance outcomes

  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, and project delivery teams to ensure sales commitments are technically deliverable and commercially viable

  • Act as a liaison between sales and engineering, translating client expectations into technical specifications and supporting project delivery teams to maintain continuity and compliance

  • Stay informed on product developments, system architecture innovations, and emerging market trends—particularly around Distech, Trend, Siemens, Tridium, Delta, iSMA, and cloud-integrated solutions

  • Support internal training and client onboarding activities by delivering product demonstrations and tailored knowledge-sharing sessions

  • Provide regular sales performance updates, pipeline forecasts, and market insights to the commercial leadership team

    Skills Required:

  • Previous experience in technical sales within the BMS, controls, or HVAC sector, ideally with a background in estimation and system design

  • Solid understanding of smart building technologies, energy management systems, and IoT integration within the built environment

  • Familiarity with relevant hardware and software platforms used in modern BMS installations, including open protocol systems and cloud-based analytics

  • Strong commercial acumen, with an ability to negotiate, influence, and build rapport across diverse stakeholder groups

  • Organised, self-motivated, and capable of managing multiple opportunities in a fast-paced, client-driven environment

  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively within cross-functional project and sales teams

    You’ll be reporting into the senior leadership team and collaborating closely with both engineering and delivery teams – ensuring client satisfaction is front and centre from pre-sales through to final handover.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.

The Skills Gap in Edge Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Edge computing is rapidly moving from niche concept to critical infrastructure. As organisations deploy connected devices, sensors, autonomous systems and real-time analytics, processing data closer to where it is generated has become essential. From smart cities and manufacturing to healthcare, transport, defence and telecommunications, edge computing underpins systems where latency, reliability and resilience matter. Demand for edge computing skills across the UK is rising steadily — yet employers consistently report difficulty finding candidates who are genuinely job-ready. Despite growing interest and academic coverage, universities are not fully preparing graduates for real edge computing jobs. This article explores the edge computing skills gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in edge computing.
