Students
A Building Services Engineer makes buildings work. It is a specialist branch of engineering within the construction sector. Craftspersons undertake the installation, testing, precommissioning, 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. Craftspersons have detailed knowledge of the system’s operating principles.
Delivery model and duration:
Apprentices will attend college on a block release. Theory lessons will be reinforced in the workplace and practical skills will be practised and enhanced in college and the workplace. This can be supported by some remote delivery if required.
Duration: 24 months plus End Point Assessment
Ideal for:
• Individuals seeking a career in the construction trade
• Existing employees wishing to upskillThe apprenticeship will cover the following core areas:
- Working Safely

End Point Assessment
The End Point Assessment will test the entire Standard, and be undertaken as follows:
• Knowledge Test
• Craftsperson Skills Test
• Professional discussion supported by the apprentice’s record of achievementUnit Overview Working Safely Understand relevant safety legislation and safe working practices applying to themselves and others in building services
engineering working environments.Working Sustainably Understand scientific principles underpinning building services engineering industrial and commercial systems including
measurement, force and pressure, heat and power, materials and electricity. Understand environmental protection
measures within building services engineering for effective use of material resources, minimising wastage, the legislation
surrounding the effective use of energy, gas and water resources.Planning and Preparing Understand how to utilise resources effectively within building services engineering including the roles and responsibilities
of relevant people, how to oversee work; how to produce risk assessments and method statements and how to plan
work programmes for self and small teams installing industrial and commercial systems. Understand the preparation
requirements for work areas in new and existing building services engineering sites.Installing Pipework Understand pipework fabrication and jointing techniques for industrial and commercial systems, including prefabricated
and/or modularised components and distribution systems. Understand the preparation, procedures, process, standards
and codes of practice required to undertake welding of industrial and commercial systems pipework.Installing Systems Understand the design principles, layout, and operating principles, installation, testing, pre- commissioning,
commissioning and decommissioning techniques for new and existing industrial and commercial cold water
systems, hot water systems, heating systems, chilled water systems, compressed air systems and steam
systems. Understand the principles and requirements of industrial and commercial gas, oil and solid fuel
systems and mechanical sustainable energy systems.Skills
