Building Service Engineering Technicians are responsible for the general performance of a building. Apprentices will play a key role in the planning and completing of maintenance work in industrial and commercial building services engineering systems. These include ventilation, heating, water supply, drainage and waste. The Level 3 Building Services Engineering course will provide learners with detailed knowledge of system operating principles. Apprentices will be expected to undertake any remedial repair and complete planned preventative maintenance work. They must also be able to take responsibility for fault finding and diagnosis, repair and maintenance systems. Learners will be required to demonstrate competence in health and safety, communication, quality control and environmental requirements. The 24-month apprenticeship course is highly independent. Building Services Engineering Technicians work in both occupied and unoccupied facilities without supervision. Candidates must also be able to do so in an appropriate, ethical and economical manner.
