A specialist in intelligent lighting control and smart building solutions is seeking a skilled Lighting Controls Commissioning Engineer to join its expanding engineering team on a full-time, permanent basis.

The organisation designs and delivers advanced, energy-efficient and human-centric lighting control systems for commercial, hospitality, and modern building environments. Working within building automation, the team integrates sophisticated technologies that help clients reduce energy consumption, improve occupant comfort, and enhance operational performance.

The successful candidate will play a key role in the installation, programming, commissioning, and support of complex lighting control systems across a wide variety of projects.

• Programming and commissioning intelligent lighting control systems on-site
• Surveying, diagnosing, and maintaining existing lighting control installations
• Demonstrating systems to clients and end users in a clear and confident manner
• Providing technical support both remotely and on-site when required
• Supporting updates, upgrades, and new product deployments in the field
• Assisting internal customer support and sales teams with technical expertise
• Maintaining high standards of professionalism and protecting brand reputation at all times

This position involves a strong field-based element, primarily across London and the South East, with occasional travel further afield as required. Candidates must be comfortable with flexibility in working hours, including evenings, weekends, and occasional night work, depending on project demands. Some assignments will require overnight stays away from home, so adaptability and willingness to travel are essential.

• Strong analytical and fault-finding skills
• Excellent communication and customer-facing ability
• A calm and professional manner under pressure

A full UK driving licence is essential.

Full product and systems training will be provided to ensure the successful candidate becomes a confident and capable member of the commissioning team.

• Salary: £45,000 - £50,000 depending on experience
• Overtime paid at enhanced rates, including double pay for evenings, weekends, and night work
• Expenses covered, including travel and overnight accommodation where required
• Up to 24 days annual leave plus company pension scheme

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated engineer who enjoys varied field-based work, technical problem-solving, and being part of a highly regarded, customer-focused engineering team.
