Are you looking for a practical engineering career where you can continue learning whilst working on real buildings and cutting-edge technology?
Learnd is looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Service Engineer to join our growing team. This is an excellent opportunity to begin a career in Building Management Systems (BMS), working alongside experienced engineers who will support your development every step of the way.

What is a Building Management System?
Building Management Systems (BMS) are the technology used to control and monitor heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting and other critical building services.
BMS engineers help buildings operate safely, efficiently and sustainably by using a combination of electrical and mechanical systems, control technology and computer software.
As a BMS Apprentice, you will undertake a BCIA apprenticeship to learn how these systems work and develop valuable technical skills that are in high demand across the construction and engineering industries.
