The Building Services team supports the department to make sure all infrastructural requirements are met. Our work falls broadly into 3 areas:
Maintenance and servicing
Testing and inspection to make sure we are compliant
The rearrangement of space and objects so that the next task can be done in the space dedicated
The last task can be as simple as removing waste, shifting furniture or as complex as a small Capital works project to reconfigure space: Stripping out, reconfiguring walls and doors, installing new power, lighting and data, processing chilled water, new paint, new flooring, and new ceiling etc.
The work is varied, and you will be trained in electrical installation and maintenance disciplines.
With the introduction of the 18th edition wiring regulations at the beginning of 2019, we have taken on refurbishment projects and this has led to the need to increase the number of electricians.

As an apprentice, you will join the team sometime between July and September (the 1st September is the latest you would start), as the college training is due to start in September 2026.
