BSE covers a multitude of different skills, which provide the essential services that allow buildings to operate - such as the heating and ventilating, air conditioning, refrigeration (HVACR) systems, plumbing and electrotechnical requirements.
Interested in helping the environment? BSE is too - installing micro-generation technologies, such as solar thermal hot water systems and wind turbines, are just some of the tasks carried out by installers working in this sector.
The sector offers a wide range of rewarding and interesting career options, from craft apprentice to technician and professional engineering levels.
All career paths are equally suited to males and females.
Seven of the industry’s largest contractors remain in consultation with their combined workforce of around 6,000 operatives about the Building Engineering Services National Agreement (BESNA).
Businesses will be given the power to design, develop and purchase the vocational training programme they need under a £250 million plan announced today by the Prime Minister. The move is designed to boost economic growth and ensure that the UK workforce has the skills that businesses require.
