Knowledge

  • Appropriate engineering principles, underpinned by relevant mathematical, scientific, and technical knowledge and understanding, relating to building services engineering and the construction or manufacturing process
  • Appropriate building services engineering techniques and methods used to design, install, commission, maintain or operate buildings and infrastructure, the standards, contracts, and specifications used, and their impact on the construction or manufacturing process
  • Key principles, techniques and methods of data and technical information collection, analysis and evaluation used in delivering building services engineering models (such as Building Information Modelling), designs, and technical solutions
  • Technical drawings, designs, and Building Information Models, using computer-based software packages, such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) or modelling software (Revit), and their use in the sector
  • Statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures, and regulations, including risk management, in relation to building services engineering project delivery
  • Industry policies, standards, regulations and legislations (such as Building Safety legislation), and codes of practice (such as Common Safety Method (CSM) and Construction Design and Management (CDM)), that must be adhered to in the building services engineering environment
  • Principles of sustainable development, including those relating to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) and net-zero carbon emissions, environmental policies and legislations, the climate change act, and their impact on the design, delivery, and maintenance of building services engineering projects
  • Understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion, and its impact on building services engineering solutions
  • Project management, including quality and information management and assurance systems and continuous improvement processes, as applied to building services engineering
  • Methods of communication and when to use them, including how to write technical reports and present technical information, using appropriate engineering terminology and conventions
  • Ethical principles as applied to building services engineering and the security of data and information
  • The values and standards by which they maintain their personal, professional, and technical knowledge and skills through initial professional development (IPD) and continuing professional development (CPD)

Skills

  • Apply appropriate building services engineering principles, techniques, and methods, including mathematical, scientific, and technical know-how, to building services engineering and the construction or manufacturing process
  • Apply key principles, techniques and methods of data and technical information collection, analysis and evaluation to support the delivery of building services engineering models (such as Building Information Modelling), designs, and technical solutions
  • Operate computer-based software packages, such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) or modelling software (Revit) to produce and present technical information and documentation with relevant conventions and engineering terminology
  • Apply statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures, and regulations in the building services engineering environment, using risk management processes, procedures, and documentation
  • Support and contribute to the production or modification of building services engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, procedures, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation, such as the Building Safety legislation.
  • Apply principles of sustainable development, including those relating to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), environmental policies and legislations in building services engineering projects, recognising the need to reduce carbon use, lower emissions, and wider sustainability
  • Plan, carry out and manage own work in line with quality assurance systems and processes, recognising the wider implications to customer needs, and within cost and resource limitations
  • Consider equality, diversity, and inclusion in the delivery of building services engineering projects
  • Apply document control processes and procedures using the approved processes, maintaining quality compliance when creating or amending engineering documentation
  • Communicate using appropriate methods for the audience, and incorporate relevant and appropriate terms, standards, and data
  • Apply ethical principles to building services engineering projects, including the secure use of data and information
  • Plan, undertake and review their own professional competence, regularly updating and reviewing their CPD to improve performance

Behaviours

  • Complies with health, safety and welfare requirements, industry standards, statutory regulation and legislation, policies, and codes of practice
