Welcome to the world of autonomous smart buildings


Buildings are responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions and a whopping 25% of UK emissions.

As BEMS specialists, we help building operators tackle this issue by maximising their energy efficiency. Through system modernisation, performance monitoring and our advanced PROActiv Solutions, we make buildings smarter, more sustainable and future-ready.

But the industry faces a shortage of skilled BEMS engineers – and that’s where you come in. By working and training with Kendra, you’ll be part of a new generation, doing vital work to transform buildings (old and new) into energy-efficient smart spaces.

Our investment in you


At Kendra, your career development doesn’t stop once you qualify. We invest in all our BEMS engineers, offering ongoing industry-leading training, personalised career plans and annual appraisals to support progress. That way, you’ll never stop learning and stay on top of the latest industry trends.

Train at the PROActiv Talent Academy


Training is mostly hands on, but you’ll undertake courses from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Schneider Electric, Honeywell and the BCIA (the Building Control Industry Association).

You’ll get a personalised career development plan, which all Kendra employees receive, designed to support your training and development.

At the PROActiv Talent Academy, the practical and theoretical skills you develop throughout your time here will set you up for a successful career in the BEMS industry.
