Building services engineers are responsible for ensuring that the electrical, mechanical and other systems within buildings work effectively and efficiently.
Well-designed and maintained building services systems are essential in supporting people with their busy lives and help them maximise the benefits from their built environment.
Our design approach to Building Services Engineering is to understand the client’s brief, interrogate the needs and operation of the building and use innovative methods in the design process.
As buildings are responsible for over 40% of the world’s energy consumption, Building Services Engineers have an important responsibility to minimise carbon emissions, reduce energy consumption, adapt to regulatory change and deliver on the sustainability agenda.

As a Degree Engineer Technician, we’ll work in partnership to create a personal development plan designed to focus on the specific learning and development needs associated with your role. You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of disciplines including bespoke technical training within Engineering placements around the business, aiding in development of mechanical and electrical systems in the Aerospace industry, with particular focus on Air to Air Refuelling and Actuation.
You must be able to work on your own initiative, and as part of a team and have an enthusiasm for learning as 6 years will be dedicated to your studies. Due to the rotational structure of the first 3 years, you will need to be an individual that embraces change and adapts to new situations successfully, with the confidence to ask questions and absorb information.
The structure of the Degree Apprentice programme will be as follows:
Year 1 & 2 - During your first two years, you will combine work based learning with day release study at Bournemouth and Poole College, completing the initial stages of the Product Design & Development (Mechanical Design) degree pathway.
While on site, you will take part in rotational placements designed to give you a broad understanding of the business and support the needs of your academic curriculum. These rotations will include gaining hands on experience within our shop floor environment to develop familiarity with our products and manufacturing processes, before moving into office based areas such as Production Support, Simulation and Modelling, Systems Test, Airworthiness, Avionics, and Design.
Year 3 - The rotational structure will continue, and you will be gaining experience within functional specialisms, for example, Research and Development, and Air to Air Refuelling and Actuation Integrated Project Teams on an extended placement structure. You will continue with your professional studies through day release at Bournemouth College, studying towards your 3rd year of your BEng.
Year 4 & 5 – From Year 4 onward, the rotational element is removed, and you will move into a permanent role aligned to your interests, strengths, and development expectations, as well as those needs of the business. Alongside this, you will continue with your remaining two years of academic study, working towards the completion of your full BEng degree at Bournemouth University.
Year 6 – In your final year, you will focus on finalising your preparation of the mandatory End Point Assessment, which evaluates the knowledge, skills, and behaviours you have developed throughout the programme.Training:Level 6 Product Design & Development Engineer Degree Standard.
