Building Services Engineer Review

Designing building services for mainly offices which include mechanical and public health insights. This involves making calculations, contacting manufacturers for required materials, creating schedules, drawings and schematics whilst also visiting site to ensure all designs are incorporated there. This is also to ensure any issues are over come and the project is completed at a high standard

When starting I was informed what I could do and my options for various courses which were delivered clearly, so I have had a decision of my own. It has been a very smooth process and when needed others within my company are very happy to assist whether that is in the workplace or within university

Any issues that arise whether that is calculations for a project, issues with lecturers at university, or wanting to visit site more frequently, it is always easy to get assistance from either colleagues I work with or do not work with, or HR department specialised for training and development of the employees.

From colleagues at work that help out, this is considerably good. From lecturers at university this could be improved significantly as our thoughts throughout the course are not fully considered and ignored such as having past paper answers so we can understand the information we require to provide within exams.

By attending university it gives me a wider knowledge of information that can be used within site visits or through calculations at work for projects. It gives me a better understanding of all roles within a project not just the information I am taught within the work environment such as the electrical side.

It is a good way to gain a qualification such as a diploma, degree or masters whilst still earning money and working on the job so you are putting the knowledge you gain to use. There is also a lot of support from others to help you through the process.
