At Energi People, we specialise in connecting top-tier professionals with leading organisations across the world of Building Services Engineering.
Whether you’re a design consultancy seeking the brightest minds in MEP Design, or a qualified engineer looking for your next challenge, we’re here to deliver tailored recruitment solutions that make a difference.
We understand that Building Services Engineers are the invisible force behind every successful built environment. From designing energy-efficient HVAC systems to integrating smart lighting and sustainable water systems, their work underpins how we live, work, and interact with our spaces.
Additionally, the scope of these roles is both technical and creative so finding the right people requires insight, precision, and deep sector knowledge, all of which we bring to every recruitment engagement.
What Is Building Services Engineering?
Building Services Engineering, also known as MEP Design (Mechanical, Electrical, and Public Health), involves the design, installation, and maintenance of all the services that a building needs to be safe, functional, comfortable, and efficient.
From the earliest stages of architectural planning, Building Services Engineers work closely with architects and structural teams to shape the very fabric of a building.
They’re responsible for:
- Heating and cooling systems
- Ventilation and air quality
- Electrical distribution and lighting
- Fire detection and suppression systems
- Plumbing, drainage, and sanitation
- Energy efficiency and sustainability integration
- BMS and Smart Building technologies
Put simply, Building Services Design ensures that a building is both functional and looks good.
As the industry continues to evolve with innovations in green energy, digital modelling (BIM/Revit/CAD), and carbon reduction, the demand for skilled engineers in this space has never been higher.
