Level 6 Building Services Design Engineer Apprenticeship

Our award-winning Apprenticeship scheme lets you contribute to exciting projects while learning from industry-leading experts and lecturers. As valued team members, apprentices gain hands-on experience in 3D modelling and mechanical, electrical and public health design.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

Building Services concerns itself with the mechanical, electrical and public health design for building projects.

Duties include:

• Developing sustainable designs and working with architects to provide ventilation, heating/cooling, lighting and power solutions using 3D modelling software
• Overseeing the design being constructed and commissioned on site

Tasks include:

• Developing knowledge and experience with electrical, mechanical engineering and public health
• Developing knowledge in sustainable and energy efficient solutions
• Developing skills in using 3D building modelling software such as Revit
• Being a key member of the team supporting the design development

Where you'll work

Pickfords Wharf
Clink Street
London
SE1 9DG

Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.

Course contents

Apply engineering principles to solve broadly defined engineering problems and contribute to continuous improvement: scientific, theoretical, and technical principles. Apply building services engineering techniques, procedures and methods, review and evaluate the results, including when measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, maintaining or operating building services engineering systems or improving the performance of building services engineering components and systems. Employ mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach. Identify, interpret, and compare information in relation to materials, components or parts used in building services engineering. Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse and evaluate building services engineering problems. Produce building services engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation. Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model building services engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed. Contribute to the design, development and implementation of building services engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle. Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare, within their own area of responsibility. Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate risks. Apply principles of sustainable development and evaluate their effectiveness on the whole project lifecycle of building services engineering solutions. Manage engineering activities that contribute to sustainable development and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Apply project management techniques, identifying, measuring, recording and reporting progress against building services engineering project performance criteria. Manage quality processes and contribute to quality improvements. Plans and manages resources, equipment and technology, to meet project requirements, specifications, costs and budgets and timescales, with an appreciation of statutory and commercial arrangements. Monitor and manage individual performance, and the input of others, recognising the need to adapt to, and communicate, changing demands. Comply with appropriate codes of practice and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) requirements. Communicate in verbal and written contexts using appropriate methods for the audience. Use appropriate engineering terminology and conventions. Apply teamwork and collaboration principles. Apply ethical principles, Identifying and analysing ethical concerns and making reasoned ethical choices. Plan, undertake and review their own professional competence, regularly updating, recording and reviewing their continuing professional development (CPD).
