Building Services Engineering Craftsperson

Outline

A Building Services Engineering Craftsperson undertakes the installation, testing, pre-commissioning, commissioning and decommissioning of large-scale engineering systems which are used for heating workplaces, such as those found in industrial and commercial buildings like office blocks, factories, schools and hospitals.

These engineering systems operate by moving temperature-controlled water around the inside of buildings, providing heating and cooling, and utilise fossil fuels and sustainable energy systems. Craftsperson’s have detailed knowledge of the system’s operating principles. They also set, identify and establish the requirements of the job, whether from drawings or client’s other instructions, liaise and work with other trades, suppliers and clients, as appropriate, solve problems within the scope of the work they carry out, and contribute to adjusting the configuration of systems as they are installed.

They are able to demonstrate competence in the health and safety, communication, quality control and environmental requirements appropriate to their scope of work.
