A building at its simplest, consists of the structure and architecture that results in a shell waiting to be occupied. Our Building Services team comes together to make buildings functional, comfortable, and safe, preferably through sustainable engineering solutions where building and site constraints allow. We work closely with our clients to understand how we can work to support them in achieving their Net Zero Carbon aspirations, whether that is providing comfort in the form of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, power and lighting, or ensuring it is safe to occupy through fire safety and security design. Our capabilities include Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Public Health, Sustainability, Building Physics, Fire, Security and ICT, Building Energy Management Systems, Lighting and Vertical Transportation.

Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to deliver world-class projects for our clients, you’ll carry out building services system design from concept design to construction and support in a Technical Advisory (TA) role from construction to completion. You’ll work using cutting-edge, digitally enabled design processes to produce holistic yet practical solutions that meet the end-user requirements. There will also be the opportunity to get involved with applied research and digital development to help create user-centric buildings and places.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop the broad range of skills set out by the Engineering Council, working towards the competencies required for Chartership with a professional body alongside one of our experienced engineers, who will serve as your Chartership mentor. This will include innovative engineering solutions, technical analysis, preparing reports and contract documents, and technical and commercial leadership whilst engaging with clients and project management.
