Vacancy Detail
Building services engineers are responsible for ensuring that the electrical, mechanical and other systems within buildings work effectively and efficiently. Well-designed and maintained building services systems are essential in supporting people with their busy lives and help them maximise the benefits from their built environment.
Our design approach to Building Services Engineering is to understand the client’s brief, interrogate the needs and operation of the building and use innovative methods in the design process.
As buildings are responsible for over 40% of the world’s energy consumption, Building Services Engineers have an important responsibility to minimise carbon emissions, reduce energy consumption, adapt to regulatory change and deliver on the sustainability agenda.
Duties will include:
- Working as part of a design team delivering detailed design
- Assisting with the creation of specifications and schedules
- Using specialist computer-aided design (CAD) and BIM (Revit) software and other resources to design the systems required for the project
- Site surveys and monitoring
- Attending design workshops and client meetings
- Liaising closely with other professionals, including structural engineers, architects, surveyors, and contractors of in-house and external project teams
- Report writing
- Producing asset registers
