Building Services Engineer

A Building Services Engineer designs and manages the systems that make buildings functional and comfortable, such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, and electrical systems. You may work on a range of projects including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Building Services Engineers ensure that systems are integrated efficiently, meet regulatory standards, and optimise energy use. You’ll also address any maintenance issues and collaborate with architects and construction teams to ensure that systems are seamlessly incorporated into the building's design.

Building Services Engineers play a critical role in ensuring the comfort and safety of building occupants. You'll need strong problem-solving skills, technical expertise, and the ability to work collaboratively with other professionals in the construction industry.
