Imagine yourself in an amazing building. Take away the lighting, heating, ventilation, lifts, escalators, plumbing, power supply, energy systems and the security and safety systems... All that is left is a cold, dark, empty shell! Without building services design engineers these spaces would not be brought to life!

The Apprenticeship

You will attend college 1 day per week to study for a foundation degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at North West Regional College.  In addition, you will develop your professional knowledge and experience within the workplace, to demonstrate the achievement of the required knowledge and behaviours which will lead to End Point Assessment to become an accredited with an engineering Professional Body at the end of your apprenticeship.
