Details:

Typical work activities include:

• Designing the layout of energy distribution, water pipes and ventilation systems and identifying relevant materials
• Drawing up plans using computer-aided design and building information modelling software
• Carrying out tests on systems and making changes to plans where necessary
• Monitoring the installation of services and managing their maintenance once the building is completed
• Making sure that all building services meet health and safety requirements and environmental legislation.
• Negotiating contracts with clients, particularly in consultancy work
• Liaising with plumbers, electricians, surveyors, architectural technologists and other construction professionals
• Giving presentations and writing reports highlighting the practical implications of the architect’s designs
• Promoting energy efficiency and other sustainability initiatives

Put simplistically: building services engineers that work for construction consultancies tend to focus on the design of the systems; those that work for construction contractors oversee how the designs are implemented on site; and those that work for facilities management or property companies will maintain or repair the services.
