In the world of BMS (Building Management Systems) and Smart Buildings, staying up to date with market trends isn’t just about knowing the latest technology—it’s also about understanding your value in the current job market. At VIGO Recruitment, we’re not only specialists in BMS and Smart Buildings recruitment, but we’re also uniquely positioned to provide real-time salary insights that most candidates simply don’t have access to.
The Pay Gap You Don’t Know About
When we speak with BMS professionals, one thing becomes clear: most people don’t really know if they’re being paid what they’re worth. Many are blissfully unaware that they could be earning more. In fact, some are leaving thousands of pounds on the table without even realising it.
The reason for this? Salary data in the BMS and Smart Buildings sectors isn’t always readily available, and job listings often don’t reflect the true value of roles. At VIGO, we speak to employers and candidates on a daily basis and have a comprehensive view of what market salaries should look like across the board. This means we see trends, we track changes, and we help candidates make informed decisions about their career—and salary—potential.
What We’ve Seen Lately
In the last month alone, we’ve helped BMS professionals across the UK and beyond negotiate better salaries, secure stronger benefits packages, and land roles that are more in line with their skills, experience, and market value. These professionals didn’t realise they were underpaid until they had a conversation with us, and we were able to give them the market insights they needed to take action.
It’s not just about the money; it’s about empowerment. When you know what you’re worth, you can make better decisions for your career, whether you’re looking to move or simply negotiating a better deal in your current role.

If you’re wondering whether you’re being paid what you deserve, or if you’re simply curious about what’s going on in the market, it’s time to have a conversation. At VIGO, we don’t just place candidates in roles—we provide insights. We give you a clearer picture of where you stand and what opportunities are out there, so you can take control of your career.
