Want to work on real-world projects where your designs go from concept to manufacture?

At Actemium (VINCI Energies), we deliver high-quality control panel and BMS solutions across multiple sectors. You’ll be part of a collaborative team where your technical input directly shapes project success - not just produces drawings.

We’re growing and looking for a BMS Panel Designer / Estimator who enjoys both technical design and commercial thinking, and wants to play a key role in delivering projects end-to-end.

• Create schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts to industry standards

• Produce accurate estimates and bills of materials, including labour and components

• Work closely with project managers, engineers, and procurement to define scope and mitigate risks

• Liaise with suppliers to source components, pricing, and lead times

• Prepare complete build packs for the workshop (drawings, BOMs, instructions)

• Support manufacturing with technical queries and test requirements

• Identify opportunities to standardise designs, reduce costs, and improve efficiency

• Attend site visits and client meetings when needed

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is technically strong but also commercially aware - someone who understands both how to design it and what it should cost.

Essential:

• Experience in control panel or BMS design AND/OR estimating

• Strong understanding of electrical schematics, control systems, PLC I/O

• Experience using AutoCAD or similar electrical CAD software

• Ability to produce accurate costings and technical documentation

• Organised and able to manage multiple projects/quotes at once

Desirable:

• Experience with EPLAN or similar panel design software

• Background in automation, controls, or building management systems

• Knowledge of electrical standards and panel compliance

• Supplier engagement / procurement experience

What you’ll get in return

• Competitive salary with clear progression opportunities

• Access to training, development, and manufacturer certifications

• Opportunity to work on varied, technically interesting projects

• Supportive team with real input into decisions and designs

• Backing of VINCI Energies, offering long-term career pathways

• Health Shield, pension, and wider benefits

Who this role suits

This role is ideal if you:

• Enjoy combining design with commercial/estimating work

• Like seeing your designs built and delivered — not just drawn

• Want to grow in a business with real career progression

• Prefer a practical, collaborative environment over siloed roles
