Senior BMS Engineer – Data Centre Project, Milan
Location: Milan, Italy
If you’re the kind of engineer who takes pride in turning a functional spec into something that actually works, this might be worth your time.
We’re delivering a major data centre project in Milan. It’s complex, fast‑moving, and the sort of job where “good enough” isn’t good enough. That’s why we’re looking for a Senior BMS Engineer who knows how to run the technical side of a project without being micromanaged — because you won’t be.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll own the Tier 2 engineering and design submittals. Not just contributing — owning them. That typically covers:
You’ll ensure mechanical equipment submittals align with project specs, and you’ll take functional specs and turn them into operational systems. You’ll also witness off‑site testing, support change control, and make sure every design change is captured and auditable.
During the Build, You’ll Also:

A Few Other Things You’ll Be Expected To Do:
Who This Role Suits
If you like clarity, autonomy, and doing things properly, you’ll fit in. If you prefer endless committees, “circling back”, and theoretical engineering, you probably won’t.
You’ll already be operating at a senior engineering level on BMS‑heavy projects, ideally in data centres, high‑tech buildings or similarly complex environments. You’ll be technically strong, able to coordinate multiple moving parts, and confident managing specialist subcontractors.
Special consideration will be given to candidates belonging to protected categories under L. 68/99
