The Prison Contracts Group (PCG) group sits within the Directorate of Contracted Operational Delivery (DoCOD) which is responsible for the operational contract management of a large portfolio of contracts, including Prisoner Escort Custody Service, Electronic Monitoring, Community Rehabilitation Services, Prisoner Education and Operational Contracts for a variety of goods and services. PMP contracts alone have an annual value of £564m. PMPs were first introduced to the UK in 1992 when the Conservative Government issued short-term contracts to security companies to operate a limited number of publicly owned prisons, the first being HMP Wolds in Yorkshire which was operated by G4S. The first wholly private prisons were often financed through the use of a Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) under private finance initiatives (PFI). These were often known as DCMF prisons as they were designed, constructed, managed and financed by the private sector, the first being HMP Altcourse which opened in December 1997 and was operated by G4S. There are currently 15 privately operated prisons in England and Wales operated by G4S Justice Services, Serco Custodial Services and Sodexo Custodial Services. In total they currently accommodate approximately 20% of the closed prison population across England and Wales.

We are seeking a highly capable Senior Service & Small Works BMS Engineer to play a key role in the continued growth of our business. This is not a routine maintenance role - it is an opportunity to take ownership of technically interesting systems, build trusted client relationships, work on projects and directly influence the delivery of service and project work across a growing regional portfolio. The role combines advanced service engineering with responsibility for identifying, pricing, and delivering improvement works. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, acting as the technical face of the business on site while being fully supported by an experienced operations team. In addition to maintaining and optimising existing systems, you will own small works opportunities from concept through to completion - developing recommendations, preparing quotations, and delivering solutions that improve system performance, reliability, and energy efficiency. This ownership provides valuable exposure to commercial, sales, and project management disciplines and offers a clear pathway into larger project delivery or technical roles. This position covers the London region with travel in Central London and the surrounding areas. Participation in a 24/7 on call rota is necessary to support critical environments. We are a growing organisation with ambitious plans, and this role is ideal for an engineer who wants to progress, broaden their skills, and be recognised for their contribution rather than remain in a purely reactive service position. The role reports to the Regional Service Manager. Key Responsibilities Deliver high quality planned preventative maintenance that ensures systems operate reliably and efficiently while identifying opportunities for improvement. Respond to complex reactive callouts, applying advanced diagnostic skills to resolve issues quickly and effectively. Carry out deep fault finding across controllers, field devices, networks, and software layers. Implement software modifications, upgrades, and optimisation strategies to enhance performance and energy efficiency. Commission new installations and system upgrades, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Proactively identify system weaknesses, inefficiencies, or risks and develop practical, value driven recommendations. Prepare and present quotations for remedial works and upgrades, taking full ownership from proposal through to successful delivery. Plan and deliver small works projects end to end, maintaining high standards of safety, quality, documentation, and client communication. Undertake panel modifications, component upgrades, and control system improvements as required. Implement integrations using open protocols such as Modbus and BACnet. Act as a trusted technical advisor to clients, building long term relationships through professionalism and expertise. Work independently across multiple sites while maintaining strong communication with the regional team. Participate in the out of hours support rota for critical system coverage. Maintain clear and accurate service documentation. Technical Requirements Strong proven experience working with BMS platforms, specifically: Trend Control Systems Tridium / Niagara Framework Experience with Distech or other major BMS platforms is advantageous but not essential. Training will be provided where appropriate. Excellent understanding of HVAC plant, building services systems, and control strategies. Demonstrable experience in commissioning, diagnostics, and system integration. Performance Expectations Deliver technically robust solutions that minimise downtime and maximise system performance. Maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and trust. Independently manage workload and priorities across service and project activities.

We are seeking a highly capable Senior Service & Small Works BMS Engineer to play a key role in the continued growth of our business. This is not a routine maintenance role - it is an opportunity to take ownership of technically interesting systems, build trusted client relationships, work on projects and directly influence the delivery of service and project work across a growing regional portfolio. The role combines advanced service engineering with responsibility for identifying, pricing, and delivering improvement works. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, acting as the technical face of the business on site while being fully supported by an experienced operations team. In addition to maintaining and optimising existing systems, you will own small works opportunities from concept through to completion - developing recommendations, preparing quotations, and delivering solutions that improve system performance, reliability, and energy efficiency. This ownership provides valuable exposure to commercial, sales, and project management disciplines and offers a clear pathway into larger project delivery or technical roles. This position covers the London region with travel in Central London and the surrounding areas. Participation in a 24/7 on call rota is necessary to support critical environments. We are a growing organisation with ambitious plans, and this role is ideal for an engineer who wants to progress, broaden their skills, and be recognised for their contribution rather than remain in a purely reactive service position. The role reports to the Regional Service Manager. Key Responsibilities Deliver high quality planned preventative maintenance that ensures systems operate reliably and efficiently while identifying opportunities for improvement. Respond to complex reactive callouts, applying advanced diagnostic skills to resolve issues quickly and effectively. Carry out deep fault finding across controllers, field devices, networks, and software layers. Implement software modifications, upgrades, and optimisation strategies to enhance performance and energy efficiency. Commission new installations and system upgrades, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Proactively identify system weaknesses, inefficiencies, or risks and develop practical, value driven recommendations. Prepare and present quotations for remedial works and upgrades, taking full ownership from proposal through to successful delivery. Plan and deliver small works projects end to end, maintaining high standards of safety, quality, documentation, and client communication. Undertake panel modifications, component upgrades, and control system improvements as required. Implement integrations using open protocols such as Modbus and BACnet. Act as a trusted technical advisor to clients, building long term relationships through professionalism and expertise. Work independently across multiple sites while maintaining strong communication with the regional team. Participate in the out of hours support rota for critical system coverage. Maintain clear and accurate service documentation. Technical Requirements Strong proven experience working with BMS platforms, specifically: Trend Control Systems Tridium / Niagara Framework Experience with Distech or other major BMS platforms is advantageous but not essential. Training will be provided where appropriate. Excellent understanding of HVAC plant, building services systems, and control strategies. Demonstrable experience in commissioning, diagnostics, and system integration. Performance Expectations Deliver technically robust solutions that minimise downtime and maximise system performance.
