Our client is a leading lighting design and Lutron lighting controls dealer. They are seeking to recruit and develop an experienced lighting controls commissioning engineer. Based in North Yorkshire, they work on highly prestigious projects across the UK and occasionally abroad.

This role would suit an ambitious lighting controls engineer, electrician or custom installer with experience in commissioning complex systems in residential or high-end commercial environments, who wants to broaden their role and progress. The employer can flex the role to provide as much responsibility and challenge as someone can handle, if you can do all of the below plus more, our client wants to hear from you.

As both a leading lighting design firm and a Diamond level Lutron dealer our client has a unique 'end to end' approach, and a very close working relationship with their clients. They are looking to recruit someone who can learn, grow, and manage substantial parts of the business in the future.

This role will be based out of the offices in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, and you need to be within a commutable distance of Thirsk (most of the team live within c.1-1.5 hours of the office.) Projects are northern biased but the team work nationally and being onsite when required are important.

• Driving licence
• Fluent in English
• Permanent leave to live and work in the UK

What will your role look like?

• Designing, programming and commissioning lighting control systems, primarily Lutron HomeWorks
