If you’re ready to launch, or further, a meaningful career in Mechanical Building Services Engineering, applications are now open for our Trainee Building Services Design Engineer opportunity in our Plymouth office.
You will benefit from a permanent contract and a perfect blend of education, hands-on experience and professional development.
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 and learning will include:
* Being part of a design team delivering detailed designs.
* Assisting with the creation of output documents that support the design of the systems we develop.
* Using specialist design software to produce designs including the production of thermal dynamic modelling, sustainable construction, regulation compliance and distribution design
* Using specialist computer-aided design (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (Revit) software and other resources to design the systems required for the project.
* Carrying our site surveys and producing designs/reports to reduce the energy and carbon on existing systems.
* Attending design workshops and client meetings with the engineering team.
* Liaising closely with other professionals, including structural engineers, architects, surveyors, and contractors of in-house and external project teams.
What do I need to succeed?
Our people are at the heart of everything we do. You’ll play an integral part in our team, helping drive our vision, living our values and embracing our culture. So, if your answer is yes to all the following statements, we’d love to hear from you:
