Job description

Our Opportunity

Are you an enthusiastic and driven school leaver, looking to start a career in the construction industry as an Apprentice Building Services Engineer?

This exciting role would give you the opportunity to learn and earn as we support you in developing your knowledge of Building Services.

Imagine yourself in the most incredible building in the world. Now take away the lighting, heating and ventilation, the lifts and escalators, acoustics, plumbing, power supply and energy management systems, the security and safety systems. You are left in a cold, dark uninhabitable shell. Building Services Engineers really do “bring buildings to life”.

Imagine the air filtration systems you'd need in a clean computer manufacturing facility. The heating controls in a special care baby unit? The airflow systems needed to control bacteria and humidity in an operating theatre? What about security systems at an airport? Lighting the Olympic Stadium? Coping with a power cut in the dealing room of a City banker? This is everyday work for a Building Services Engineer.

As an Apprentice Building Services Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting the Building Services Team on projects, ensuring they are delivered to the right scope of time, quality and budget; on design preparation, reports, and contract documents; and when liaising with Clients and Contractors.
